Detail finds latent bugs in codebases via deep AI-powered scans
Detail (qqbot, Inc d/b/a Detail) is a pre-seed AI-powered bug scanning company founded in 2023 by Dan Robinson, former CTO of Heap (9 years), with Sachin Iyer as founding engineer. The company raised $1M in pre-seed funding from angel investors including Guillermo Rauch (CEO, Vercel), Olivier Pomel (CEO, Datadog), Christina Cacioppo (CEO, Vanta), Arash Ferdowsi (co-founder, Dropbox), Alex Graveley (creator of GitHub Copilot), Barry McCardel (CEO, Hex), Dev Ittycheria (former CEO, MongoDB), Guy Podjarny (founder, Snyk/Tessl), and Zach Lloyd (CEO, Warp). Detail differentiates from code review bots by performing full-repo deep scans that take hours rather than seconds, exercising code in thousands of ways via Runloop sandboxed environments.
Benchmarking shows a random Detail bug ranks more important than a random code review bot finding 91% of the time. The product is GitHub-only, supports 11 languages, and integrates with Linear, Jira, and GitHub Issues. Pricing is three-tier: pay-per-scan (Project), $30/committer/month (Team), and custom enterprise. SOC 2 Type II certified with zero data retention. Key risks include: GitHub-only limitation, 250+ file repo requirement, long scan times limiting iterative feedback, pricing skepticism, and intense competition from well-funded competitors.
We exercise your code to find thousands of bugs. We pick the top 1% you're most likely to care about and send them to you.
We built an agent that can write thousands of new tests for a typical codebase, all merge-quality.
The AI code review market was valued at $1.67B in 2024 and is projected to reach $8.07B by 2033 (19.8% CAGR per Growth Market Reports). The broader generative code review segment reached $2.12B in 2025 and is forecast to hit $8.73B by 2030 (32.7% CAGR per Research and Markets). The static code analysis market, which overlaps significantly, is valued at $4.3B in 2025 with projected growth to $12.7B by 2033 (22.1% CAGR).
Key growth drivers include developer productivity demands, security and compliance pressures (GDPR shift-left), DevSecOps adoption, and LLM advancements enabling context-aware bug detection. North America is the largest market. Detail operates in the intersection of AI code review and proactive codebase scanning, differentiating from reactive PR-review bots by performing full-repo deep scans.
SOC 2 Type II Certified. Zero Data Retention. All code and usage data can be purged based on your requirements. Our model providers retain nothing.
82.9% of Detail findings were marked as correct by humans or agents. Detail bugs average 88th percentile importance vs code review bots.
Detail currently supports GitHub repositories only (GitLab and self-hosted Git are not yet supported). The product works best on repos with 250+ files, excluding smaller codebases. Scans take hours rather than minutes, which trades compute for quality but limits rapid feedback. The $30/committer/month Team pricing was criticized on Hacker News as steep for enterprises, with one commenter suggesting a bug-bounty-style pay-per-bug model as an alternative. Self-hosting is only available on the Custom (Enterprise) tier. No C#/.NET support yet.
The long scan times mean it cannot provide the near-instant feedback that code review bots offer. Detail explicitly acknowledges it works best on app backends and has been tested most thoroughly on that domain.
Three-tier pricing model targeting engineering teams. Project tier: pay per scan, up to 5 monthly contributors, bugs delivered to Linear, Jira, or GitHub Issues, email support. Team tier at $30/committer/month: monthly full repo scan, weekly scans over recent changes, additional scans a la carte, private Slack channel support, up to 8 repos. Custom/Enterprise tier: custom scan cadence, custom targeting, SAML SSO and SCIM, SOC 2 Report available, self-hosting option.
All plans include a free first scan with no credit card required, serving as a product-led growth entry point. The pricing positions Detail above basic code review bots but below dedicated security platforms, emphasizing the value of deep compute-intensive scans over shallow per-PR reviews.
