What ByteRover does for you

ByteRover is a context engineering platform that lets you:
  • Curate context for your coding agents — patterns, decisions, and learnings
  • Pair with agents to capture context from their tasks automatically
  • Sync context across your team so everyone works with the same knowledge (paid feature)
Zero manual context management. No markdown files cluttering your codebase. ByteRover handles the organization while you focus on coding.
