Introduction to Helio Audit
Helio Audit is an AI engineering intelligence platform for software teams. It brings pull request review, security analysis, quality signals, and repository insights into one correlated view—so engineers spend less time switching tools and more time fixing issues that matter.
What Helio Audit does
Helio Audit analyzes Repositories and Pull Requests, correlates findings across review, security, and quality, and enriches results with AI explanations, remediation guidance, and developer-friendly workflows.
Core capability areas include:
- Repository management — connect, manage, and synchronize Repositories from supported Git providers
- AI code review — Review Pull Requests, explain changes, suggest improvements, and assist with fixes
- Repository intelligence — analyze Repositories for bugs, security risks, and maintainability issues
- Security and compliance — detect vulnerabilities, secrets, infrastructure risks, and compliance concerns
- Developer experience — CLI tools, IDE extensions, AI planning, and local Reviews
- Executive reporting — consolidated dashboards and reports for engineering, security, and compliance teams
Problems Helio Audit addresses
Many organizations rely on separate products for Pull Request Reviews, SAST, SCA, secrets scanning, infrastructure-as-code checks, containers, compliance, and SBOM generation. That fragmentation creates:
- Multiple disconnected dashboards and constant context switching
- Duplicate findings across tools in incompatible formats
- No single view of Repository risk for managers
- Developers interpreting scanner output instead of shipping fixes
Helio Audit normalizes, deduplicates, prioritizes, and enriches findings with AI so teams can act on Issues rather than manage tooling.
Who Helio Audit is for
- Software engineers reviewing and merging Pull Requests
- DevOps and platform engineers connecting Git providers, CI/CD, and deployment environments
- Security engineers evaluating application, dependency, secrets, and infrastructure risk
- Engineering managers and CTOs who need Organization-wide visibility
How Helio Audit differs from traditional review tools
Traditional code review focuses on human discussion of diffs. Static scanners often produce large volumes of findings without shared context.
Helio Audit combines automated analysis with AI-powered insights across security, architecture, and maintainability—not only syntax and style. Findings include explanations, impact, and remediation guidance, and surface in Pull Requests, IDEs, and the command line.
Supported integrations
Helio Audit integrates with the tools teams already use:
- Source control — GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps
- CI/CD — GitHub Actions, Jenkins
- Developer tools — VS Code, Cursor, JetBrains
- Infrastructure — Docker, Kubernetes, and major cloud providers
Connect a provider in GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket. For deployment options, see Self-hosting.
