PatchBuddy. Get started
For agencies

Built specifically for Patchworks integration partners.

Most "AI assistants" assume one team, one product, one customer. Agencies don't work that way. PatchBuddy treats your agency as the unit, every end-customer as an isolated organisation, and every project's tribal knowledge as something to keep, not something that leaves with the developer who solved it.

Privacy by default

Built for engagements where data handling is the gate.

PII randomisation is on by default for every organisation. Customer names, emails, phones, and addresses are masked inside PatchBuddy before any AI provider sees the payload. EU-hosted Mistral routing is available on a per-turn toggle for engagements that require data to stay inside the EU.

The job today

Pattern-heavy work, by hand.

Every Patchworks build follows the same shape. The same dedup. The same try/catch. The same connector wiring. The same field mappings, just with different field names. Your senior developers spend their week on it. Junior developers take months to learn it. The work isn't hard. It's repetitive. And it's the bottleneck on every project.

Senior dev time

Stuck in canvas-clicking work that pattern-matches across every client. Pulls them off architecture and platform decisions.

Junior dev ramp

Three months minimum to be useful on a real flow. The Patchworks-specific gotchas only live in senior heads.

Per-project hours

Each integration eats real days even when the underlying logic is well-trodden. Estimates always slip.

Tribal knowledge loss

When the developer who solved it leaves the project, the next one solves it again from scratch.

Multi-tenant

Your agency is the unit.

Every client lives as its own organisation. Credentials, projects, knowledge, and chat history are isolated per-org. Your team's reach is managed once at the agency level, not per-client.

Tier 1

Agency

Your team, with agency-admin and agency-user roles. Pivot-based access to client organisations, so sister agencies never see your work.

Tier 2

Organisation

One per end-customer. Holds Patchworks credentials (encrypted, never logged), reference cache, knowledge, audit. Isolated from every other client.

Tier 3

Project & tasks

Inside each org, work splits into projects (an integration scope) and tasks (a discrete unit such as one flow or one connector setup). Chat scoped per level.

Where it earns its place

The four moments PatchBuddy pays for itself.

New client onboarding

Discovery captures every endpoint ID, sample payload, and credential decision. Subsequent build tasks pick up that context automatically. No re-asking. The first three flows ship in days, not weeks.

Mid-project debugging

Something stops syncing. Drop the SKU into chat. PatchBuddy pulls the live payload, identifies the offending filter or mapping, and proposes a fix. Hours of console-diving collapsed to minutes.

Junior developer ramp

Day-three new hires pick up real work. The agent's knowledge layer captures patterns the seniors solved last quarter. Mistakes get caught at the tool layer before they hit Patchworks.

Ongoing maintenance

Add a tag filter. Wire a new notification. Switch a connector environment. The kind of one-off changes that interrupt deep work, done in a single chat turn instead of a context-switch.

Team management

Right person, right reach.

Agency-admins manage who on your team has access to which clients. Agency-users see only what they're entitled to. Onboarding a new developer is a single permission edit; they pick up exactly where the last one left off.

  • Per-organisation pivot, fine-grained access, not all-or-nothing
  • Forced password change on first login, sane defaults for client-side onboarding
  • Per-user usage analytics for capacity planning and billing reconciliation
Audit

Every change. Every actor.

Chat sent, project created, task completed, credentials updated, flow modified. All captured with actor, agency, scope, and time. Compliance-friendly out of the box; clients with a security review pass on day one.

The shift

Senior developers stop doing junior work.

The repetitive shape-by-shape build work moves to PatchBuddy. The senior developers who used to spend their week on it are freed to do what only they can: architecture, integration design, hard debugging, client conversations. The agency capacity goes up without the headcount going up.

Who this is for

Not a silver bullet.

PatchBuddy is a senior-developer accelerant, not a self-service tool. The agent makes the building faster. It can't replace the reading.

AI agents, even the best ones, make mistakes. A wrong cache scope. A missing error path. A mapping that's almost right until it hits the first edge case. Without integration expertise on the user's side, those mistakes ship straight into production.

Validating a Patchworks flow takes someone who already knows what a correct flow looks like. The shape order, the connector configuration, the dedup pattern, the field-by-field mapping. All of it needs critical eyes before going live.

That's why we sell only to agencies and integration partners. PatchBuddy multiplies senior-developer time for teams who can verify what the agent produces. It isn't aimed at businesses without that expertise.

Not an integration agency?

You don't need PatchBuddy. You need an agency. Cirql Works can take an integration on directly, or refer you to a Patchworks partner that fits.

Still want to try anyway?

Signup isn't gatekept. Anyone with a Patchworks account can sign up, add their first organisation, and start a task. The only requirement is your Patchworks API key (it lives in your Patchworks dashboard). The advice above is honest counsel, not a wall.

Sign up. Start shipping.

Add your first client organisation, point it at their Patchworks credentials, start a task. The agent takes over the canvas-clicking; you stay on the architecture and the calls.
