What it does
Semgrep Assistant is an AI layer on top of Semgrep's static application security testing product, which scans source code for vulnerabilities using pattern-based rules. Assistant reviews each finding, learns from how a security team triaged similar issues before, and automatically marks low-risk findings so engineers spend less time on manual review. For issues that need fixing, it writes step-by-step fix guidance directly into the pull request so a developer can resolve it without a security specialist. Semgrep reports its security researchers agree with the tool's triage decisions 96% of the time in internal testing. It is built by Semgrep and runs as part of its cloud platform.
Where it can help
This fits a team already running Semgrep, or considering it, whose security findings outpace what staff can manually review. Semgrep's Team plan is near $30 to $35 per contributor per month and includes AI triage with a monthly cap on AI-assisted actions, while the full platform is free for teams of up to 10 contributors and 10 private repositories, making a no-cost pilot realistic. Semgrep states this can cut manual triage volume by about 20% once turned on. Watch two things: do not rely on AI triage decisions without occasional spot checks, and watch the monthly AI-action cap on paid plans, which a busy team can run through before month's end.

Get started
What you need first
What you need firstSet up the basics
Confirm current product identity, commercial packaging, data processing terms, sign-in and access rules, retention, integrations, support model, implementation effort, and rollback conditions.
How to startSet clear limits
Verify identity, package, availability, ownership, pricing, and security evidence before approving a pilot
Before you scaleSet safe working rules
Recommended next action
Do not approve a pilot yet. Verify the current product identity, package, availability, owner, pricing, and security evidence; then define one workflow, a baseline, and rollback criteria.
Decision ownerBusiness and technology owner
STARTSet a goal and owner
Define what success looks like for a test of Semgrep Assistant and assign someone to lead it.
FIRST MONTHTest one workflow
Once the requirements above are met, compare a small trial with how your team works today.
MONTH TWOReview actual use
Track adoption, output quality, business results, and actual costs against the estimate.
MONTH THREEDecide what comes next
Use the results to decide whether to stop, adjust, or expand the pilot.
Risk profile
Required controls
Security and safe use
Confirm encryption, how the vendor uses your data, customer data separation, how long data stays and how to delete it, activity records, sign-in and user setup, where data is handled, other companies that process data, past incidents, and what your team must manage.
Exit and rollback
Review before rollout: confirm how to export your data, revoke access, and return to your existing workflow. Assign an owner and test the rollback plan before expanding use.
Recommended next step
Do not approve a pilot yet. Verify the current product identity, package, availability, owner, pricing, and security evidence; then define one workflow, a baseline, and rollback criteria.
