How to Optimize Your CI/CD Pipeline with AI (CircleCI Chunk Tutorial)

As AI-assisted coding tools increase the amount of code, commits, and builds, optimizing your CI pipeline becomes more important than ever.

In this tutorial, we walk through how to use Chunk, CircleCI’s autonomous agent that validates your code at AI speed, to analyze your pipeline history, identify performance bottlenecks, and suggest optimizations to your CI/CD configuration. Chunk leverages critical CI/CD context like build history, test results, and execution data to keep pipelines healthy and moving at AI speed.

You’ll learn how to:

• Set up Chunk in your CircleCI project
• Analyze pipeline performance using build history
• Automatically optimize your CircleCI config
• Review and merge Chunk’s suggested changes via pull request
• Ask Chunk for additional CI/CD optimization recommendations

If your team is shipping more code with AI-assisted coding tools, improving CI/CD validation and pipeline performance becomes make-or-break. Chunk loves taking on the pipeline optimization toil, helping teams move faster while maintaining confidence in every change.
