Review pull request changes before merge

Argos is a visual and snapshot testing platform for pull requests. It helps teams review screenshots, recordings, and file diffs before code is merged or deployed.

The product is designed for both human reviewers and AI agents. It highlights changes clearly, supports collaborative review workflows, and exposes build data through the CLI, REST API, and MCP server so agents can inspect and act on what changed.

Core capabilities

Visual and snapshot testing

Compare changes in screenshots and snapshot data so reviewers can inspect pixels, Markdown, JSON, HTML, CSS, XML, YAML, and similar file outputs.

Change detection for pull requests

Surface every change a PR makes and separate the real differences from rendering noise with deterministic pixel diffing and stabilization.

Collaborative review threads

Let teammates comment, request changes, approve, and reply in the same review thread, including pinned comments on specific pixels or regions.

Agent-ready workflows

Expose machine-readable build data through the CLI, REST API, and MCP server so AI agents can read diffs, review their own work, and submit decisions.

Media sharing from the terminal

Allow screenshots and screen recordings to be uploaded from the terminal and attached to a PR as review context and proof of change.

Preview deployments for PRs

Deploy Storybook and static builds on every pull request, generate shareable preview URLs, and promote merges to a stable production domain.

Common workflows

Review UI changes before merge
Use Argos to compare visual diffs on a PR, catch regressions, and approve or reject changes with a side-by-side review flow.
Support AI-generated code reviews
Let an agent inspect the build, read machine-readable diffs, fix its own mistakes, and bring only unresolved changes to a human reviewer.
Publish Storybook previews on every PR
Deploy Storybook or another static build to a unique preview URL so teammates can inspect the change in a live environment.
Share evidence with reviewers
Upload screenshots or screen recordings from the terminal so the PR contains the visual context needed to understand the change without checking out the branch.
Reduce noise in flaky visual tests
Track instability across builds, use flaky-detection tools, and focus review time on diffs that reflect real product changes.

Some advanced capabilities, such as enterprise features and SSO options, are reserved for higher tiers.
