AI Code Trust Score: Automated Quality Assessment for AI-Generated Code

Developers are drowning in AI-generated code suggestions but lack tools to systematically evaluate whether that code is production-ready, introducing silent bugs and security vulnerabilities.

App Concept

  • A CI/CD integrated platform that automatically scores AI-generated code (from Copilot, Cursor, Claude, etc.) on security, performance, maintainability, and correctness
  • Real-time inline scoring during code review showing trust metrics for each AI-suggested block
  • Historical tracking of AI code quality across your organization to identify patterns and risky AI behaviors
  • Automated regression testing specifically designed to catch common AI hallucinations and edge case failures

Core Mechanism

  • Hooks into Git commits and PR workflows to identify AI-generated code via metadata and pattern recognition
  • Runs multi-dimensional analysis: static analysis, security scanning (OWASP), performance profiling, test coverage verification
  • Machine learning model trained on millions of code reviews to predict human reviewer concerns
  • Generates a "Trust Score" (0-100) with detailed breakdown of risk areas
  • Slack/Teams integration for instant alerts when low-trust code is committed
  • Gamification: team leaderboards for highest quality AI code integration

Monetization Strategy

  • Freemium model: free for individual developers (10 analyses/month)
  • Team plan: $49/developer/month for unlimited analyses and team dashboards
  • Enterprise: Custom pricing for SOC2 compliance reports, custom rules, and dedicated support
  • API access tier for integration with custom development tools

Viral Growth Angle

  • Public "AI Code Quality Benchmark" where companies can opt-in to compare their scores (anonymized)
  • Viral blog posts: "We analyzed 1M lines of Copilot code - here's what we found"
  • GitHub Action that's free and shows badges on README files displaying code trust scores
  • Developer advocates sharing shocking examples of AI-generated vulnerabilities caught by the platform

Existing projects

  • SonarQube - General code quality platform, not AI-specific
  • Snyk Code - Security scanning but doesn't differentiate AI-generated code
  • DeepCode - AI-powered code review, doesn't focus on evaluating AI-generated output
  • Codacy - Automated code review, no AI-generation detection

Evaluation Criteria

  • Emotional Trigger: Limit risk (protect engineering reputation, prevent production incidents from AI mistakes)
  • Idea Quality: Rank: 9/10 - High emotional intensity (fear of AI mistakes) + massive market (every company using AI coding tools)
  • Need Category: Stability & Security Needs - Ensuring reliable, secure model deployment and predictable performance
  • Market Size: $8B+ (entire DevSecOps market, subset focused on AI code quality ~$500M growing 40% YoY)
  • Build Complexity: Medium-High - Requires static analysis engines, ML model training, Git integrations, but core tech exists
  • Time to MVP: 3-4 months with AI coding agents (basic Git hook + scoring engine), 6-8 months without
  • Key Differentiator: Only platform specifically designed to evaluate AI-generated code quality with historical tracking and organizational insights
