Show HN: FixBugs Reproduces and Fixes Production Bugs
kirtivr · hn · 2026-07-14
Show HN: The author introduces FixBugs, an AI agent designed to tackle production environment bugs. It gathers the surrounding context of a bug, reproduces the issue in a sandbox, generates a fix, and verifies its effectiveness. The product is available in two forms:
- Self-hosted VSCode extension: Prioritizes code and data privacy, with an option to opt out of model training.
- GitHub App: Requires temporary access to the codebase and can be installed directly on specific repositories.
Drawing from years of on-call experience at Google and VMware, the author explains how engineers waste time collecting logs, traces, and metrics, only to face missing context, unreproducible bugs, or transient infra issues. FixBugs aims to slash these troubleshooting costs.
Current capabilities include:
- Reproducing bugs
- Identifying root causes
- Generating fixes
- Validating patches
- Cross-checking generated code with multiple AI models to minimize regression risks
The author is actively seeking feedback from engineers who handle distributed systems or high-pressure triage scenarios.
