   We built an AI to review your pull requests▲53

   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…

   Automated bug fixing powered by LLMs▲9

   Hey everyone, My friend and I built a simple bug fixing app that listens for alerts/issues from Sentry, contextualizes it against your codebase, and any other data sources you wish to connect (right now we support Notion, Google Docs, and Slack), and deploys an ai agent to write a PR for review in Github or Gitlab to solve the bug. Our current demo shows the end-to-end process for a trivial bug fix, but we have been testing it with open source python repos like http-pie, comparing how our agent solves a bug compared to a human engineer and it gets fairly close. We are working on adding…

    Pixeebot – a GitHub App that fixes your Sonar findings (Java/Python)▲10

    We made a bot, built on an [open source framework](https://codemodder.io), that fixes the problems Sonar (and others!) find in your code. Here are a handful of examples of pixeebot fixing Sonar findings on some OSS code: https://github.com/nahsra/cql-evaluator-fork/pull/1/files https://github.com/nahsra/bsights-engine-spark-fork/pull/1/f... https://github.com/pixee/pygoat/pull/2/files The changes aren't all super fancy, but we're orienting towards solving real problems and…

    Screenshot Holmes – rename your screenshots with useful names▲5

    My first public repo intended to be used by others. While I am curious on how you'd use it, I'd love feedback on the code/setup/pythonic nature of it all. I am on a career break and just experimenting a lot, especially on ways to make AI useful for everyday things. I've coded more in the past 6 weeks than the past 6 years and don't know a lot of python devs. Python was never big language at my previous companies, but something I used a lot for tools and projects going back to college compiler days. Old habits die hard. Are there tools that do this as you screenshot? Probably...…
