Summary

The software development industry is witnessing an inflection point, with developers recognizing the possibilities that AI can bring. The introduction of GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT has revolutionized software development. However, the code review process remains largely unchanged, relying on manual reviews which are slow, error-prone, and expensive. CodeRabbit, an AI-powered code reviewer, aims to speed up the code review process by an order of magnitude while improving quality. It works seamlessly within the pull request workflow and collaborates with developers and reviewers to ensure code quality. CodeRabbit provides context-aware feedback within minutes, enabling developers to make improvements based on best practices and get their code ready for merging faster. The AI-powered tool is built on top of generative AI models, providing summarization, incremental reviews, chat about changes, and designing capabilities. Despite the limitations of LLMs, innovation is required to build sophisticated applications on top of these models, and CodeRabbit is at the forefront of this innovation by building an AI-first developer tools company from scratch.
