Details

DraftKings confirmed on its careers blog that it built and deployed DraftCode, an internal AI-powered code review tool, to expedite the review of pull requests submitted by engineers. As of the company's March 2026 investor day, DraftKings stated that 100% of code reviews are now AI-assisted, and reported a 40% improvement in engineering hour productivity. DraftKings co-founder Paul Liberman described the approach as having 'AI do things like identify problems with our code before an engineer would do it—as a supplement for code reviews.' Engineers also use external tools including GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and Claude Code.
