🛠️ Who audits the bots?

The Breakpoint

Hey all, welcome back to The Breakpoint, our weekly newsletter covering everything in developer tools on Product Hunt. This edition: OpenAI’s new coding assistant, a bot for handling those bug bashes, and a discussion on who is auditing AI

The Latest

Five of the most interesting recent dev tool (or dev tool-adjacent) launches on the site.

Codex by ChatGPT hooks into your repo and spits out branches on command. Ask for a feature, bug fix, test suite, or quick code explainer; it works in isolation and pushes a clean PR—no extra terminal, no local setup.
Prism hooks into session replays and flags every rage click, dead end, and ghost page—zero tagging, zero setup. It spits out a ranked list of where users bail and fires alerts to Slack or email so bad UX doesn’t slip through the cracks.
Windsurf’s Wave 9 update ships three models—SWE-1, SWE-1-lite, and SWE-1-mini—trained for pure software work. Plug them into the Windsurf IDE and they’ll write reviews, generate tests, and draft design docs. Lite and mini are free if you just want to kick the tyres.
Appwrite Sites is the platform’s new hosting arm. Point it at a static or server-rendered repo, click deploy, hook up your domain, and you’re live, with SSL, previews, and templates included. Think Vercel vibes, minus the closed source.
Gadget is a browser IDE that shows up with the boring bits already handled: database, auth, testing, hosting, and an assistant that can scaffold routes or tables when you get lazy. Start a project, write code, hit deploy, and the app goes live on Gadget’s cloud—no AWS spelunking required.

Who audits the bots?

Constantine dropped a worry bomb: “If you vibecode your product, part-time AI, part-time human, how do you keep it secure?”

Replies grouped up fast. Some folks lean on automated scanners and CI checks to catch the low-hanging bugs before code ever merges. Others call in pen-test pros once a quarter, treating AI-generated chunks with extra suspicion. A third camp swears by threat-modeling sessions and good old manual reviews, arguing that you still need eyeballs on every line, bot-written or not.

Big takeaway: AI can write code, but it can’t sign off on security. Worth a scroll if your repo already has more machine commits than human ones.
