    Hey HN, We’re two developers (co-founders) with a team of 20 who got tired of spending hours reviewing PRs, so we built Infinitcode.ai, an AI-powered code reviewer that: - *Summarizes PRs in plain English*: No more deciphering 1,000-line diff jungles - *Catches more than bugs*: Security holes, performance pitfalls, code smells, even typos (yes, we’ll flag “vurnerabilities” and vulnerabilities) - *Zero onboarding*: Works instantly—no “let me learn your codebase for weeks” nonsense. Why we’re posting: We’re in alpha and need brutal honesty. Roast our tool, mock our UI, or tell us why AI will…

    Hi HN, I'm the author of git-lrc, would appreciate some feedback from the community Last year my team started using AI coding tools more heavily, and we found ourselves generating tons of code, but spending less time looking at the stuff that's been generated. We felt like we were losing a bit of grip/understanding of what we were building. Regressions occasionally slipped through. Sometimes changes made it all the way to production only to be reverted later. We tried several AI code review tools, but most operate at PR time. That felt too late. I wanted review to happen while the…

    Ito▲449

    I'm Evan and I made Ito.ai It's code review that actually runs your code. The result is that it finds more bugs with a smaller false positive rate. You get screenshots, videos, and run logs. I built Ito because manual verification sucks and I thought I could automate it. I've been a professional developer for 15 years and now more than ever, I'm just spending time making sure things work. I looked into all of the other agentic testing tools that click around a url you give them and frankly, they sucked. They just didn't work. I figured to be able to actually testing things you need to run…

    Hey HN, we’re Robert and Sam. We’re building Alchemize, a code review platform that simplifies PRs to help you ship faster. Here’s a demo video: https://www.tella.tv/video/simplify-pr-reviews-with-alchemiz... Sample to try: https://app.tryalchemize.com/example Agentic coding has 10x’d code output. Teams are opening larger PRs more frequently, but the current tools don’t support this new coding paradigm. GitHub still presents files without structure. As engineers reviewing these massive diffs more frequently, we spent hours painstakingly reconstructing where…

    We now write most of our code with agents. For a while, PRs piled up, causing review fatigue, and we had this sinking feeling that standards were slipping. Consistency is tough at this volume. I’m sharing the solution we found, which has become our main product. Continue (https://docs.continue.dev) runs AI checks on every PR. Each check is a source-controlled markdown file in `.continue/checks/` that shows up as a GitHub status check. They run as full agents, not just reading the diff, but able to read/write files, run bash commands, and use a browser. If it finds…

    I've been using Claude Code heavily, and kept hitting the same issue: the agent would push changes, respond to reviews, wait for CI... but never really know when it was done. It would poll CI in loops. Miss actionable comments buried among 15 CodeRabbit suggestions. Or declare victory while threads were still unresolved. The core problem: no deterministic way for an agent to know a PR is ready to merge. So I built gtg (Good To Go). One command, one answer: $ gtg 123 OK PR #123: READY CI: success (5/5 passed) Threads: 3/3 resolved It aggregates CI status, classifies review comments…

    I built a CLI that detects patterns AI coding tools leave behind: empty catch blocks, hardcoded secrets, as any everywhere, comments that restate the code, god functions, SQL concatenation. 24 rules across JS/TS and Python. Zero config, runs offline, regex-based so it's fast. npx @yuvrajangadsingh/vibecheck . Also ships as a GitHub Action for inline PR annotations and standalone binaries (no Node required). Why: CodeRabbit found AI-generated PRs have 1.7x more issues than human PRs. Veracode says 45% of AI code samples have security vulnerabilities. "Vibe coding" is everywhere now…

    Hi HN, I’m Valentin, a developer who’s found code reviews to be a slow process, especially after context switching or juggling different projects and languages. Even reviewing my own code can be tough when I’ve lost the thread or just need a fresh perspective. Over the past few weekends, I built GitReviewed to make PR reviews faster, smarter, and genuinely useful for real teams. What it does: - Reviews any GitHub or GitLab pull/merge request with AI-powered comments, spotting security issues, code patterns, typos, and more - Posts comments as you (not a bot), so feedback fits naturally…

    A bunch of companies that I spoke to had their own claude & codex OTel dashboards that showed spend + seats per month. However, none of the dashboards actually analyzed how the engineers worked with the tools and if there were any areas for improvement! That's why I created https://www.promptster.ai. Managers get aggregate level view of code quality and how that ties with team workflows (nothing on a per-engineer level). While engineers get personalized coaching on how they can save tokens while keeping output high. We also have a tool built for individuals to test their local…

    Hey HN, Over the last year, I’ve reviewed more than 1000 code changes. Most of the time was spent catching obvious mistakes rather than debating complex design decisions. If we estimate ~10 minutes per review, that’s 160+ hours spent reviewing code in just one year. So I thought: could I get some of that time back using LLMs? That's why I spent the last few weekends building Presubmit.ai, an open-source AI reviewer that runs as a Github Action right when you open a Pull Request. The results so far are promising: I estimate it can reduce the review time by 50%, which in my case would mean I…

    I’ve spent the last 2.5 months building a product that runs LLM-powered code reviews on my pull requests — and I just launched it. The tool is built specifically for solo developers. You install it on your repo, trigger a scan by creating a pull request, and it leaves structured review comments using OpenAI under the hood. Funnily enough, I used the dev version of this app to review its own pull requests while building it. It helped me spot bugs, simplify structure, and keep quality high — all with minimal need for another human in the loop. Things I want to try out in the next months : -…

    Hey HN - We're building wispbit (https://wispbit.com/) - a tool that lets you build your own AI code reviewer. We built this because we worked in big and complex codebases where we kept hitting booby traps - often the same ones. People forgot things, or quit altogether, amplifying the problem. We looked for other ways to fix this, but the solution is usually a combination of: - Writing a linter rule - too difficult and time consuming. - Writing docs and having frequent meetings on alignment - basically a full time job. - Using plug and play code reviewers - too generic and…

    Howdy friends. I've been a zero to one product manager for 12 plus years and along the way I kept borrowing pieces from different discovery frameworks until I had a methodology of my own, one that actually raises the odds of an idea succeeding. This does not replace user interviews obviously, but it leads you in the right direction. Looking forward for your feedback
