Merge replaces traditional coding tests with interactive, AI-driven pull request reviews to assess real-world engineering judgment.

Merge is an AI-native technical assessment platform designed to help engineering teams evaluate candidates through realistic pull request (PR) reviews. Instead of solving algorithmic puzzles, candidates review a PR as they would on the job, while an AI agent acts as a peer engineer by responding to PR comments in real time. The platform provides automated scoring on bug coverage, communication quality, PR review depth, and token use efficiency.

// ANALYSIS

Replacing algorithmic whiteboard challenges with dynamic code review simulations offers a far more authentic measure of how a software engineer will perform on the job.

–Tests practical code comprehension, edge-case detection, and architecture evaluation rather than syntax memorization.
–Interactive AI responses evaluate communication skills, tone, and collaborative problem-solving in real time.
–Automated scoring provides structured data on candidate performance across bug detection, feedback clarity, and efficiency.
