24 alternatives to Pull Request Reviewed by LLM

This 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 an LLM-based prereviewer that should take a first pass before the actual human reviewer. The results so far are promising: I estimate it can reduce the review time by 50%, which in my case would mean I save 80hours (~10 working days) per…

    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 spent a few hours last weekend testing whether AI can replace code by executing directly. Built a contact manager where every HTTP request goes to an LLM with three tools: database (SQLite), webResponse (HTML/JSON/JS), and updateMemory (feedback). No routes, no controllers, no business logic. The AI designs schemas on first request, generates UIs from paths alone, and evolves based on natural language feedback. It works—forms submit, data persists, APIs return JSON—but it's catastrophically slow (30-60s per request), absurdly expensive ($0.05/request), and has zero UI…

    I’m excited to share Master the Code Review: forge a better process, give better reviews, write better code. It’s a video course with 4+ hours of content [1]. I’ve linked a 21-minute sample below [2]. 6 years ago, I began my software engineering career at Amazon Web Services. I struggled with Pull Requests. My authored PRs received many comments, sometimes 50+. They went through many revisions, sometimes 7+. I often shipped late. My reviews of other PRs were surface level and counterproductive. Long story short: I improved. Through trial, error and experience I learned how to be effective in…

    Nowadays I review a lot of code locally that was written by llms. I used to review my own code using git + delta. It started to feel limiting with the amount of code written by llms. When looking at a large diff on Friday I pointed an llm at diffs.com and trees.software and told it to build an app. It only took 16 minutes, is extremely fast for large diffs, beautiful and minimal. Today I polished it up and added all the features that I need. It has file filters, search, an llm walkthrough mode, and review comments that you can paste back into your llm. I will be using Codiff a lot, and can…

    Hey HN! We're Charles and Dean, and we're building Stage: a code review tool that guides you through reading a PR step by step, instead of piecing together a giant diff. Here's a demo video: https://www.tella.tv/video/stage-demo-1pph. You can play around with some example PRs here: https://stagereview.app/explore. Teams are moving faster than ever with AI these days, but more and more engineers are merging changes that they don't really understand. The bottleneck isn't writing code anymore, it's reviewing it. We're two engineers who got frustrated with…

    I built adamsreview, a Claude Code plugin that runs deeper, multi-stage PR reviews using parallel sub-agents, validation passes, persistent JSON state, and optional ensemble review via Codex CLI and PR bot comments. On my own PRs, it has been catching dramatically more real bugs than Claude’s built-in /review, /ultrareview, CodeRabbit, Greptile, and Codex’s built-in review, while producing fewer false positives. adamsreview is six Claude Code slash commands packaged as a plugin: review, codex-review, add, promote, walkthrough, and fix. I modeled it after the built-in /review…

    hi HN! a couple of months ago I had to analyze a few thousand audio recordings to help identify issues with customer support. i was able to get some raw high-level initial results with python scripts invoking LLM APIs, but they were too general and unhelpful. writing basic prompts is easy, but tuning them and making them specific enough to ensure no faint signal is missed is hard. you need to iterate through the data with an initial prompt, segment the data into different buckets, chain another prompt for each bucket etc. Then you need to constantly review the raw data to tweak the prompts…

    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 : -…

    Shopping online can be pretty tedious if you care about the quality of what you are buying. The time it takes can scale pretty proportionally to some combination of the value, relative importance, and complexity of the purchase. I think LLMs can help expedite and personalize the online shopping experience to a degree marketplaces just don't currently provide. I don't think anybody really wants to read the product descriptions of a bunch of products, read reviews, do pairwise product comparisons, and find the best deals across different websites? Or am I wrong? That's why I think this…
