For/DEV SHOPS

One platform to run client delivery, with AI agents that read your code.

Projects, sprints, time capture, retainers, and invoicing on one record. GitHub-aware agents handle standups, status updates, and PR summaries so engineers stay in the editor.

Helm is an AI work platform for dev shops: web, mobile, backend, and full-stack consultancies. Projects, sprints, time entries, and invoices live on the same record. GitHub integration lets AI agents read repos, summarize PRs, and draft client status updates based on what actually shipped, so standups and status reports stop stealing engineer time.

Why dev shops run on Helm

The friction we remove.

Project scoping accuracy is make-or-break.

The Sales Representative agent drafts estimates from line items across similar past projects: the ones that actually landed in the right cost and the ones that didn't. Pattern-match your own history before committing to a fixed-fee quote.

Status updates eat the same hours as billable work.

GitHub-connected Project Coordinator agents can draft standup posts, weekly client updates, and PR summaries from the actual git activity. Engineers approve or edit; they don't write from scratch.

Retainer and sprint work bill differently.

Retainers bill on a recurring schedule with hours tracked against allocation. Sprint work bills at project close or milestone. Time Tracking feeds both without you having to run separate systems.

The client sees "you shipped 40 PRs this week." You see "that's not the useful summary."

The Content Strategist agent reads git activity and translates it into client-readable work. "We finished the checkout redesign, shipped the analytics dashboard, and caught two production issues that would have affected Monday's launch." That's the weekly note you send.

Pricing

Per-workspace pricing. No per-seat tax.

Helm is priced per workspace, not per seat. When your AI staff help a smaller team do the work of a bigger one, your bill doesn't go up for being lean. All 12 apps are included on every plan.

FAQ

Questions from dev shops.

How does the GitHub integration work?

On Pro and Business, Helm connects as a GitHub App to repos you authorize. Agents can read commits, PRs, issues, and branches to draft status updates, summarize work, and feed the client-facing narrative. Writes (commenting on PRs, opening issues) are configurable per agent.

Can agents read our code?

Agents read PR metadata, commit messages, and repository structure by default. Reading code file contents is scoped per-agent: off by default, opt-in per repo. Your IP and your NDA posture stay intact.

Does Helm handle sprint planning and issue tracking?

Projects + Tasks cover sprint planning at a PM level: milestones, assignments, kanban. For issue tracking specifically (bug triage, developer backlog), most dev shops pair Helm with GitHub Issues, Linear, or Jira via Composio, and let Helm surface the client-relevant slices.

What about contractor time tracking?

Contractors can be team members or guests depending on access needs. Time tracked by contractors rolls into invoices the same way team-member time does. Rate configuration per person is supported.

Can Helm handle subcontracting and partner agency work?

Each client is a workspace-level account. Subcontracted work can live as projects tied to that account, with contractor team members assigned and billed through. For agency-of-record deals where you're the subcontractor, Helm is your operational system; you invoice the prime, they invoice the end client.
