The Challenge
Northstar Global’s platform team reviewed hundreds of pull requests every week across dozens of repositories. Senior engineers spent hours labelling, routing and summarizing changes before any real review could begin.
The Solution
The team deployed a NOVA triage agent connected to GitHub, their issue tracker and internal ownership docs.
Every new pull request is classified by risk and area, then routed to the right code owners automatically.
The agent writes a plain-language summary with linked tickets and affected services.
High-risk changes trigger a policy check before they can be merged.
“Our reviewers now start with context instead of chasing it.”
The Results
Northstar reclaimed roughly 40 engineering hours per week and cut the time from opened to first review by more than half.
