Surface - FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Surface?

Surface is an attention intelligence platform for engineering teams. It analyzes pull requests and prioritizes the changes that deserve human attention, helping developers focus on what matters instead of reviewing every line equally.

How is Surface different from AI code review tools?

Most code review tools focus on finding bugs or suggesting fixes. Surface focuses on prioritization. It separates critical changes from those that need a quick look or can be safely deprioritized, giving engineers a clearer picture of where their attention matters most.

Is Surface built for AI-generated code?

Yes. Surface is designed for modern development workflows, including those using AI coding assistants. As code becomes faster to generate, knowing what deserves closer scrutiny becomes increasingly important. Surface helps engineers review AI-generated code with greater focus and confidence.

How does Surface decide what matters?

Surface evaluates changes using signals such as behavioral impact, code sensitivity, change magnitude, testing evidence, and repository context. It groups changes into attention levels so engineers can distinguish what needs careful review, what deserves a quick look, and what adds little review value.

How do I connect my GitHub repositories?

Connect your GitHub account and install the Surface GitHub App on the repositories you want to monitor. Surface uses the permissions granted to the app to access pull request information and generate attention-focused reports.

Who builds Surface?

Surface is built by Benzoic AI, an AI product studio creating practical tools for developers, engineers, and creators. Surface brings that focus to software engineering, helping teams make better decisions about the code they review and ship.
