AI Code Reviews

AI Code Reviews is an AI-powered pull request reviewer designed to cut code review time while helping catch bugs before changes merge. It provides context-aware feedback across your diff with line-by-line suggestions, plus a chat interface to discuss review findings and iterate.

In addition to PR-stage review, it’s available across common developer workflows, including IDE and CLI. Reviews can include a TL;DR-style summary of changes, a walkthrough, and additional context to help you focus on the issues that matter.

You can also tailor how the agent reviews by configuring coding guidelines and workflow instructions in a YAML file, then improve future reviews by giving feedback on prior outcomes. The tool supports pre-merge finishing touches like custom checks, unit test generation, and docstring generation, while emphasizing security and privacy with an architecture built to keep code private during reviews.
