The Deep View: Conversations

In this episode of The Deep View Conversations, we sit down with Merrill Lutsky, cofounder and CEO of Graphite — a company using artificial intelligence to transform how engineers write, review, and ship code.

What started as an internal tool to streamline software deployment has grown into something larger: a vision for how AI can augment, not replace, the craft of engineering — and reshape how teams collaborate at scale.

Merrill walks us through Graphite’s early pivots, the development of its AI reviewer Diamond, and how the company is rethinking the bottleneck that stands between building and shipping code.

We also go beyond the product to explore deeper questions:
Will coding become fully automated?
How do we balance speed and safety in an era of AI-written software?
And what does craftsmanship mean when machines start to create?

What is The Deep View: Conversations?

Artificial intelligence is a complicated topic, bound by many complex threads — technical science, ethics, safety, regulation, neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, investment, and — above all — humanity. On The Deep View: Conversations, we break it all down, cutting through the hype to make clear what's important and why you should care.
