the merge button moved to the agent. delivery hero's herogen, detailed september 18, merges over 100 pull requests a day, about 9% of all prs, with 85% success on assigned tickets and most finished with zero or one human touchpoint.

the reviewer is now a deployment.

Context

Delivery Hero's press release of 24 April 2026 says its Herogen agent, introduced internally in February with rollout at 18 percent completion, handles 9 percent of all code change requests across the company with an 85 percent success rate measured as merged over rejected pull requests, that the vast majority of tasks need zero or one human interaction, and that a council of agents built on LLMs from different providers reviews the code before a human does a final check. An Anthropic customer story says more than 100 merged pull requests per day, about 9 percent of all PRs, 85 percent success on assigned tickets, built on Claude Opus 4.5.

How it compares

The note's wording matches the Anthropic customer story, a vendor-curated source; the press release's 9 percent is of code change requests and its 85 percent is merged over rejected pull requests, which are different denominators, and neither is independent. Detailed September 18 was not found: the first-party date seen is 24 April. A human does the final check per the first-party text, so the merge button moved to the agent overstates it, and the council of agents is a reviewer layer and not the final approver. The reviewer is now a deployment is the author's take.
