Most teams see their first Codowave pull request within 20 minutes of setup. Connect a repo, point at a few open issues, and the agent picks up the first one within the next cron tick.

How Long Until Codowave Opens Its First PR?

The median for new teams is 18 minutes: connect repo → pick a plan → label one issue ready-for-agent. The agent picks it up in the next cron tick (within 5 minutes), runs it, and pushes a branch.

The setup loop

  1. Connect your repo (90 seconds) — GitHub OAuth, pick repos, done.
  2. Pick a plan + region (60 seconds) — Starter is the default, US-East is the default.
  3. Label an open issue ready-for-agent (30 seconds) — or let the scanner file one automatically.
  4. Wait (~10–15 minutes) — first pickup. Subsequent runs start within seconds.

What can slow it down

  • Cold dependency install — repos with 800+ npm packages or 50+ Gradle modules can take 4–6 minutes to install on first agent run. Subsequent runs use the cached image.
  • Test suite size — the agent runs your tests before opening a PR. A 12-minute test suite means a ~14-minute total run.
  • Missing context — if the agent has to ask for clarification on an ambiguous ticket, that adds a comment round trip.
