Ellipsis – Automated PR reviews and bug fixes
Hi HN, hunterbrooks and nbrad here from Ellipsis (https://www.ellipsis.dev). Ellipsis automatically reviews your PRs when opened and on each new commit.

Demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X61NGZpaNQA So far, we have dozens of open source projects and companies using Ellipsis. We seem to have landed in a kind of sweet spot where there’s a good match between the current capabilities of AI tools and the actual needs of…

Managed Claude Code agents in the cloud. Define agents as config files in your repo – Ellipsis runs them to review PRs, build features, and investigate production issues.
Define agents in YAML and invoke through API. You choose the harness and model, while we handle the environments, permissions, budgets, and logging. Run agents in isolated cloud environments with scoped permissions, budget controls, and logs for every run. Pick your repositories, install dependencies, and set environment variables. Choose your coding agent, scope its permissions, and set spending limits. Run agents in isolated cloud environments with your code and tools ready. Automate repeatable work on schedules or in response to events. Follow sessions live and inspect every step, tool call, and result.

Tool to Automatically Create Organized Commits for PRs2025 · github.com · ▲76I've found it helps PR reviewers when they can look through a set of commits with clear messages and logically organized changes. Typically reviewers prefer a larger quantity of smaller changes versus a smaller quantity of larger changes. Sometimes it gets really messy to break up a change into sufficiently small PRs, so thoughtful commits are a great way of further subdividing changes in PRs. It can be pretty time consuming to do this though, so this tool automates the process with the help of AI. The tool sends the diff of your git branch against a base branch to an LLM provider. The LLM…
We built an AI to review your pull requests2025 · infinitcode.ai · ▲53Hey 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…
