AI code review
An automated reviewer that reads a pull request and comments on it before a person does.
What it tells you about a developer
A team that names its automated review layer has told you what its human reviewers were responsible for: design, intent, and product judgment. That is the part of review that carries seniority.
AI code review tools read the change, the surrounding code, and sometimes the project’s rules, then leave comments on the pull request. They reliably catch known bug patterns, style drift, and a real share of common security mistakes. They miss whether the change was the right thing to build, whether the design will hold, and security holes nobody has seen before. Teams run them as a first pass and keep a person on the rest.
