Users can leverage their existing agent logins or API keys, working with models like Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Antigravity, Pi, OpenCode, Grok, and GitHub Copilot. QualityLayer runs locally on macOS, Windows, and Linux, ensuring that code, plans, artifacts, and agent output remain on the user's computer. Shared tasks, documents, and comments are encrypted locally, maintaining data privacy and security.
The platform offers a flexible workflow, allowing users to start with free-form chat for small changes and bugs, or initiate a structured task with a plan, checks, and final review for features or bug fixes. It supports both individual and team use, with the Team plan adding shared plans, Slack/email questions, and collaborative code review. Product managers can use it for product briefs, while engineers can create technical plans.
QualityLayer's process involves several key steps: Discuss, Research, Plan, Outline, Implement, Verify, and Review. Users approve the plan before building and the finished change after checking, with the agent handling intermediate tasks and only asking for human input when necessary. The platform integrates project checks, security scans, and independent agent reviews to ensure code quality and adherence to requirements. Every decision, document, and test run is recorded and stored with the change, providing a complete audit trail.
Pricing plans include Solo for individual developers and Team for collaborative environments, both offering unlimited tasks, repositories, and agents. An Enterprise plan is available for custom hosting, single sign-on, and volume pricing. QualityLayer charges only for its service, with AI usage billed through the user's existing agent subscriptions or API accounts. A 7-day trial is available to explore the platform's capabilities.
