PermaShip is an autonomous engineering platform from Permaship, Inc. It connects to a code repository and runs a roster of AI agents continuously, so work is found and proposed without anyone writing a prompt. The agents cover security, reliability, performance, cost, test coverage, CI health, frontend quality and product alignment, and each one submits findings as proposals rather than changing code directly.
What sets it apart is the governance layer. An executive agent named Nexus reviews every proposal against an organization's strategic alignment, risk posture and values, and only Nexus can create a ticket. The company positions the product as an autonomous engineering department that adds output without adding headcount or sprint overhead for the human team.
After a repo is connected, domain-specialized agents scan the codebase and submit proposals to Nexus. Nexus evaluates each one in the context of everything else in flight, resolves conflicts between agents, and decides whether the work is worth doing and when. Cross-agent review applies as well: a security finding can be tested by the SRE and CI/CD agents before it moves forward.
Customers choose the autonomy level. In supervised mode, vetted proposals surface for review before execution. In autonomous mode, Nexus acts independently and briefs the team afterward. Low-risk items such as dependency updates, lint fixes and test additions can be auto-approved under criteria the team defines, while higher-stakes findings route to human review. Approvals and rejections feed back into Nexus as organizational memory.
The roster includes nine named agents: CISO for security, SRE for reliability, QA for test coverage, CI/CD for pipeline health, Performance, FinOps for cost, UX for frontend quality, Product Manager for scope and alignment, and AgentOps, which monitors the output quality of the other agents. Examples of their work include scanning for exposed secrets, writing missing tests, catching N+1 queries and flagging accessibility violations.
Nexus adds gatekeeping, sensibility checks before anything is built, and routing by risk level. Critical security findings can be escalated to Slack. The site also describes a dashboard and API for reviewing proposals, setting auto-approve criteria and managing budgets, along with sandboxed runners. Nexus can also take requests from people, so non-technical users can interact with the platform through it.
PermaShip is an autonomous engineering platform that runs domain-specialized AI agents continuously on a connected codebase. The agents find work in areas such as security, testing and performance, then submit proposals to Nexus, an executive agent that decides what ships.
PermaShip has three monthly plans: Starter at $20, Team at $200 and Scale at $2,000. Each includes a monthly Compute budget, and a Managed Engineering option is available through Contact Us.
The sources do not mention a free plan or free trial. The pricing page lists the Starter plan at $20 per month as the lowest option.
Nexus is PermaShip's executive agent. It reviews every proposal against an organization's strategic alignment, risk posture and values, and only Nexus can create a ticket. It also runs cross-agent review and learns from approvals and rejections.
Yes. In supervised mode, vetted proposals surface for review before execution. In autonomous mode, Nexus acts independently and briefs the team afterward. Teams can also set criteria for auto-approving low-risk changes.
Customers buy Compute each month, and each ticket consumes Compute based on complexity. A small fix or test uses 1 to 3, a feature or improvement uses 5 to 15, and a build from scratch or large refactor uses 15 or more.
The sources name Slack, where the CISO agent escalates critical security findings. Plans include 5 integrations on Starter, 15 on Team and unlimited on Scale, though the specific integrations are not listed.
The company targets startups, scaling teams and dev shops or agencies. It fits teams that want continuous engineering output without adding headcount, and that want approval controls over what ships.
