The build engineer who never sleeps.

Hermetiq runs and optimizes your build system with AI—so your engineers can focus on your product, not maintaining build infrastructure.

An AI build engineer. Part of Hermetiq.

Meet Barn Owl.

It watches your builds, catches the regressions, and earns the trust to fix them. You get your product engineers back.

Wide awake.

Barn Owl watches build health, performance, and infrastructure usage around the clock—so a slow regression doesn’t become your next surprise.

Knows your build.

It connects a failed build or slowdown to the work and infrastructure behind it. Answers from your actual build history, not generic advice.

Earns your trust.

Explanations first. Recommendations next. Then fixes as PRs you review and merge. More autonomy only where you grant it—never the keys to prod by default.

Gets wiser.

Every build outcome is another lesson in your stack’s failure modes. The owl learns what actually worked, not just what sounded plausible.

A failed build. A one-line fix.

Follow a real run: Hermetiq surfaces the failed action, Codex fixes its inputs, and Bazel verifies the result.

Step 1 of 4

A file exists locally. The remote action cannot see it.

The release-manifest action exits 1 on Buildbarn. Hermetiq records the failed invocation and action.

Inspect the run and reproduce it

An intentionally introduced missing input in a small public sample. Hermetiq supplied the failed-action evidence; Codex applied the patch and reran Bazel. This is a recorded client-assisted workflow, not a customer benchmark.

See the whole build system.

Barn Owl connects Bazel actions and cache behavior with queues, workers, storage, and logs. These are the eyes behind the AI—not another dashboard your team has to babysit.

Built for teams building products

Your next hire doesn’t have to be a build engineer.

More services, more dependencies, more code from your agents. Hand off build operations before they become someone’s full-time job.

Do we need to use Bazel already?

No. We assess your codebase, dependencies, toolchains, and migration effort before onboarding. The agreed workload needs a supported Bazel build before Hermetiq can operate it. We agree the setup and operating scope with you first.

Why not just CI and a coding agent?

Those are tools your team operates. Hermetiq takes responsibility for establishing, operating, and optimizing the supported build system underneath them. Your engineers keep ownership of product code, tests, and change approvals.

What about infrastructure costs?

Connect build activity to infrastructure usage so you can see where resources go. Barn Owl watches for wasted work and over-provisioned capacity, helping you plan instead of guessing at the next bill.

Build your product. We’ll watch the builds.

Start with Hermetiq Cloud. Need a private deployment? We support that, too.
