Baz

Baz is an AI code review platform whose agents review plans, pull requests, security and merge readiness with context from the whole codebase.

Baz reviews code changes with AI agents that understand an entire codebase, aiming to catch the bugs that single-file tools miss. Its reviewers flag bugs, security issues, architectural regressions and style violations, explain their reasoning, suggest fixes and learn from the team's feedback. Beyond pull request review, Baz offers plan review before coding starts, security review, merge readiness review and production review, all working from shared engineering context. A Skills Maintainer checks the rules in files such as CLAUDE.md against the code and opens a pull request when a rule no longer holds. Customers report shorter review cycles, such as 26% less time to merge, and Baz offers a free trial.
