The problem it solves

Every merge request needs a second pair of eyes, but reviewers are busy and reviews can sit for hours or days. Catching issues before they merge often depends on whoever has time to look.

Who it fits

Development teams who want a quick AI review alongside human review on every merge request.

How it works

  1. You comment on a GitLab merge request to request a review
  2. The system pulls the code changes from that merge request
  3. AI analyzes the changes for issues and improvements
  4. The feedback is posted back into the merge request discussion
What you get

Merge requests reviewed the moment you ask

Every merge request gets an instant AI code review alongside your team's own review, right in the discussion.

What you get

AI-written code review comments posted directly in the merge request.

What you need

A GitLab account and an OpenAI account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
