We present Sayme, a chatbot that we are developing to address the detection and resolution of potential code conflicts that may arise in parallel software development. Sayme is designed to operate both proactively, informing developers when they engage in activities that create conflicting changes, and reactively, responding to user inquiries regarding the state of different developers’ work and how it may overlap. We introduce our motivation for developing Sayme, present its design and features, and offer an outlook at our future work.
