## AI overview

Chainguard describes a system of specialized AI agents built on DriftlessAF that continuously checks code against machine-readable engineering standards, fixes drift, and supports CI repair. Over eight weeks, it opened more than 4,700 standards-fix pull requests; 75% judged low-risk were auto-merged when AI judgment agreed with deterministic checks.

## Source excerpt

Chainguard uses AI-powered agents to continuously enforce engineering standards, remediate drift, and keep codebases aligned at scale.
