AI that learns your team's unwritten rules

Paul Sangle-Ferriere

Every engineering team has tribal knowledge.

The stuff that's not in docs. Not in the codebase. The patterns you learn after six months on the job that make you actually productive.

When a new engineer joins, they spend months absorbing these unwritten rules. Now cubic does the same thing.

Why 97% of teams never taught cubic anything

Until today, teaching cubic your team's standards required explicit commands. You had to remember to tag cubic in comments.

Nobody did this. We checked the data. Less than 3% of teams used our learning features regularly.

Just reply to comments → cubic learns automatically

Starting today, just reply to any cubic comment with feedback. That's it.

"Actually, we prefer early returns in this codebase" → cubic learns. "We always add integration tests for API endpoints" → cubic learns. "This pattern causes performance issues in our stack" → cubic learns.

No special commands. No configuration. Just natural conversation.

Your feedback trains your AI (not everyone else's)

When you correct cubic or provide context, cubic analyzes whether that feedback represents a team-specific pattern. If it does, cubic remembers and applies it to future reviews.

Each learning is scoped to your team. Your feedback makes cubic smarter for your codebase, not everyone else's.

Live now, zero setup required

This update is live for all cubic users. No action required. Just start giving feedback naturally, and watch cubic get smarter.
