Introduction

Azent is an autonomous AI coding agent that integrates natively with Azure DevOps. It picks up work items, implements features, fixes bugs, reviews pull requests, and more — all within your existing development workflow.

Simply @mention the Azent bot in a work item or pull request comment, and it will read the context, write the code, validate its changes, and open a pull request. No context switching, no copy-pasting — Azent works directly inside Azure DevOps.

Key capabilities

• Implement features — reads work item descriptions and acceptance criteria, creates a branch, writes code, and opens a PR
• Fix bugs — diagnoses issues from work item descriptions and error details, then applies targeted fixes
• Fix PR review comments — reads reviewer feedback on a pull request, makes the requested changes, and pushes the fix
• Review pull requests — analyzes changes with full codebase context and leaves actionable review comments
• Create CI/CD pipelines — generates Azure Pipelines YAML based on your project structure
• Edit wiki pages — creates and updates Azure DevOps wiki pages to keep documentation in sync
• Break down work — splits large work items into smaller, actionable child tasks
• Answer questions — responds to questions about the codebase directly in comments
