Daksh Gupta

Co-founder & CEO, Greptile

Search every verified Daksh Gupta interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. Daksh Gupta, co-founder and CEO of Greptile, appeared in several public forums in late 2026 to discuss the company's work on AI-generated code validation and its findings on coding agent adoption. In an October 2026 appearance, he announced that Greptile raised $50 million in a Series B round led by Menlo Ventures, describing the company's goal as automating code validation to ensure code changes are safe to merge. He also stated that Greptile reviews and tests over 1% of all pull requests on GitHub daily for clients including Nvidia, Coinbase, and Scale. In talks recorded in September and October 2026, Gupta presented data from Greptile's analysis of over a million pull requests per month across 65,000 organizations. He reported that the share of pull requests showing signs of being largely or entirely AI-generated grew from under 1% in early 2025 to 27.6% by April 2026. He compared revert rates between agent-written and human-written code, finding little difference overall, and noted that roughly one-fifth of Greptile-reviewed pull requests are merged without human review or testing. Gupta also expressed skepticism about traditional code review, calling it a "useless exercise" akin to "TSA security theater," while arguing that coding agents have made software development faster without improving end-user software quality. He attributed the bottleneck in productivity gains to process limitations and a lack of increased ambition among companies, rather than to the coding agents themselves.

  • Daksh Gupta: What We Learned by Analyzing 1M AI-Generated PRs

    October 07, 2026 · 📺 The AI Conference™

    Background coding agents are quickly moving from novelty to real-world software development workflows. Based on Greptile's analysis of millions of pull requests across 65,000 organizations, this talk explores how often end-to-end AI-generated PRs are being used and how their quality compares to human-written code. The data shows detectable agent-generated PRs grew from under 1% in February 2025 to 27.6% in April 2026, with early quality signals like revert rates and code churn suggesting these agents may already be competitive in serious codebases.

    September 27, 2026 · 📺 AI Engineer

    More than a quarter of the pull requests Greptile reviewed in April showed signs of being written largely or entirely by AI agents, up from under 1% a year earlier. Daksh Gupta, co-founder of Greptile, analyzed more than a million pull requests a month from companies like NVIDIA, Coinbase and Scale to test a simple question: are fully vibe-coded PRs actually any good in enterprise codebases? He compares agent-written PRs (Codex, Claude Code, Devin, Cursor) with human-written ones on four measures: revert rates, revert rates by PR size, the severity of issues Greptile flags (P0/P1/P2), and how…

    For the first-ever live recording of High Bit, Brett Gibson sits down with two founders building at the center of the AI engineering shift: Daksh Gupta, co-founder and CEO of Greptile, and Matt Matheson, co-founder and CTO of Trunk.io. AI can write code. That part is no longer interesting. What matters now is what happens when engineering teams suddenly ship much faster, when review and testing become the bottleneck, and when the old operating model for software teams starts to break. In this episode, Daksh and Matt get into how their teams are structured, why smaller teams can now do much m…

    Greptile is building AI that understands entire codebases. Each week, Greptile reviews 5–8 million lines of code for customers and surfaces tens of thousands of bugs that would otherwise slip through human review. Fresh off a $25M Series A round, they're on a mission to kill the bug. In an interview with YC Partner Brad Flora, co-founder and CEO Daksh Gupta shares how he and his team discovered that large language models are often better at reading code than writing it, why code review is the most powerful use case for that ability, and how Greptile is helping developers spend less time catc…
