CodeRabbit

CodeRabbit is an AI code reviewer that comments on every pull request with codebase-aware, line-by-line suggestions, plus triage and security checks.

CodeRabbit reviews pull requests automatically, leaving line-by-line suggestions, summaries and one-click fixes, and developers can chat with it in the PR. It pulls in extensive context, including the codebase, its history, documentation, product requirements, issues from Jira and Linear, and learnings from earlier reviews, so feedback fits the team's conventions. It also triages incoming pull requests, groups related changes, runs linters and SAST tools, monitors security continuously, and can loop with coding agents until review comments are resolved. Higher plans add multi-repo analysis, custom pre-merge checks, unit test generation, merge conflict resolution, post-merge actions and blast radius analysis. CodeRabbit says it has 17,000 customers across 6 million repositories, and reviews also run in the IDE and CLI.
