DepBot

Automated dependency updates with context-aware changelogs.

● The Problem

Dependabot and Renovate create dozens of PRs per week with zero context. Developers merge them blindly or ignore them entirely. Neither approach is safe. Teams need to understand what changed and whether it matters.

● The Solution

A dependency update bot that groups related updates, summarizes breaking changes using AI, runs your test suite, and assigns a risk score to each update. One PR per week instead of twenty.

Competitive Landscape

Dependabot (GitHub-owned) and Renovate (Mend) dominate but are noisy and lack intelligence. Socket.dev focuses on security scanning, not updates. AI-powered context is the differentiator.
