How Spotify Automated Background Engineering with AI

Most engineering teams think of changes to the codebase as a whole as a project. Spotify automated these changes in the background using AI. Spotify's solution is called Honk, an AI agent for coding. It's an agent that makes changes to the codebase in the background without requiring an engineer to be brought into the work. It's not a chatbot integrated into a codebase. It's like a background daemon for your entire codebase. Since implementing Honk, Spotify is now able to merge over 650 agent-created pull requests into production every month.
