Sweep (issue-to-PR agent) · Sweep AI
An early (2023-era) open-source background agent that turned labeled GitHub issues into pull requests by planning, coding and opening a PR asynchronously; the original bot is effectively sunset — the repo README redirects to the company's pivot into a proprietary JetBrains AI plugin (autocomplete + in-IDE agent, $10-60/mo) using Sweep's own LLMs, so the background-agent product itself is legacy.
