DexCode
DexCode is a control plane that gives engineering teams one shared, auditable record of AI coding work. It captures what changed in each run, what passed verification, what failed, what it cost, and what still needs human review. Teams use it when they need run receipts and evidence attached to pull requests instead of digging through private chat transcripts or terminal scrollback.
Dex can keep executing in the local repo while DexCode ingests structured telemetry through an API built for append-only trace events and stable evidence links. Device login issues scoped CLI tokens that you can revoke from the dashboard, and runs store task scope, branch, commits, review findings, and PR links as durable receipts.
Engineering leads, reviewers, and platform operators use DexCode to inspect changed files, verification output, browser screenshots, token usage, budget policy, and approval status before merging AI-generated code. Governance surfaces cover budgets, provider credentials, retention policy, and audit exports for organizations that need every run to leave a readable record.
Live run traces walk through Plan, Implement, Review, Verify, and PR phases
Roll up tokens and estimated cost by user, repo, provider, and task type
Attach screenshots, traces, videos, and logs with stable PR-ready URLs
Budgets, provider credentials, retention policy, and audit logs in one dashboard
GitHub, Playwright, and Rails CI gates sync as first-class run evidence
Local-first design lets Dex run in the repo while DexCode stores the team-visible record.
Verification media and logs attach to runs with stable URLs for pull request markdown.
Usage analytics break down tokens and estimated cost by user, repo, provider, and week.
Governance includes budgets, provider allowlists, retention, and audit exports.
Linear, Jira, Slack, and Sentry integrations are listed as planned, not yet available.
Component pricing ($30 seat, organization, and project) adds up quickly for small teams.
Requires signing in and configuring CLI tokens before the first run appears in the dashboard.
What is DexCode?
DexCode is the control plane for AI software engineering work from Synthetic Industry. It turns Dex coding runs into auditable team history with tasks, phases, branches, PRs, token usage, verification results, screenshots, traces, videos, and governance signals.
How much does DexCode cost?
DexCode charges $30 per seat per month for each engineer, reviewer, or operator, plus $30 per organization per month for shared governance and $30 per project per month for separate repositories and run ledgers. You bring your own model credentials for AI calls.
Does DexCode require cloud sandboxes?
No. DexCode is designed as a local-first wedge: Dex can keep running in the local repo while DexCode receives structured telemetry, artifacts, and summaries for team review. It stores run metadata and evidence rather than requiring unlimited repository access.
What integrations does DexCode support?
DexCode treats GitHub, Playwright, and Rails or CI gates as core integrations for issues, branches, commits, pull requests, review comments, screenshots, traces, and verification results. Linear, Jira, Slack, and Sentry integrations are listed as planned on the integrations page.
What governance controls does DexCode offer?
DexCode provides scoped and revocable CLI and API tokens, configurable evidence retention, weekly and monthly budgets by account and provider, audit exports of run history and actors, and separation between public PR links and private account-only artifacts.
What is Dex in relation to DexCode?
Dex is Synthetic Industry's software engineer AI robot that handles codebase work, website edits, and technical maintenance with logged commands, files, and checks. DexCode is the dashboard and API layer that records Dex runs for team review; Dex resumes and advanced use cases live on HireRobots.ai.
How do I connect a repository to DexCode?
Sign in to DexCode with GitHub, where repository access is granted separately per installation. Create a scoped CLI token through device login and connect the repositories where Dex is allowed to report work so sessions and artifacts appear in the dashboard.
