I'm interested in trying this.

We have our own internal automated review which has shown positive results, but I would love to drop it if I find something better.

Code review is currently our bottleneck, so any possibility of better automating it is welcome.

We've been using Coderabbit, great deal ($30/mo/dev flat) and finds a lot.

I also built a skill I call `/meta-review` that asks Codex, Cursor, and Gemini to review the code (I use Claude Code). It always finds little things claude & I missed.

Coderabbit just came out with their own PR review UI that's great for big PRs, it groups files together etc. https://www.coderabbit.ai/blog/introducing-atlas-the-first-a...

If you've codex what does it add over codex's default app? I am confused. Can't you simply ask codex in another tab to just do a code review?

At a kill s@@s hackathon at work, I was able to build something that

uses a node image installs claude code runs a /review-like command puts inline comments to PR deletes old comments when rerunning

OCR seems cool, but overkill, and I'm definitely not using Code Rabbit after their CEO was on here acting snobbish a while back.

Point being AI code review in Git** itself isn't hard to do and can add a lot of value quickly.

Is it actually flat fee? I loved Cursor bugbot which was flat fee but they moved to per-run and that killed it for me, but a lot of others are doing the same.

I recently moved off Cursor's BugBot because it's no longer a flat $40, and I feel a little lost trying to find a viable alternative because there are so many and the pricing kind of sucks for all of them. Curious if anyone has a recommendation.

We'd need a benchmark to tell.
