CodeRabbit - AI Code Reviews

What do you like best about the product?

I like how CodeRabbit analyzes all the lines of change and adds relevant comments, finding potential issues. This feature is particularly valuable because it sometimes catches loopholes that a manual reviewer might miss.

What do you dislike about the product?

Good overall, but sometimes it adds irrelevant comments which can be skipped with broader context. Also, it adds too many things sometimes.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use CodeRabbit for reviewing pull requests. It analyzes all lines of change, adds relevant comments, and finds potential issues, sometimes catching loopholes that a manual reviewer might miss.

What do you like best about the product?

It's ability to review changes and understand them within the context of the work that is being done (along with the PR summary), and then to give very clear, structure feedback, with code diffs. It integrates very well with our current workflow, is affordable, and can quickly produce prompts for my AI for handover.

What do you dislike about the product?

Very occasionally it can make the wrong assumptions, but it does learn from the feedback it receives.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps provide invaluable PR review support in a very busy environment where time is a major factor.

What do you like best about the product?

I really appreciate how CodeRabbit significantly reduces the reliance on another developer in the code review process, allowing me to continue my work in minimal time. It gives me the confidence that my code does not include serious bugs and code smells, which is incredibly reassuring. I also enjoy its seamless integration with GitHub Actions, making it easier to respond to comments directly. The initial setup of CodeRabbit was very easy, which saved me a lot of time and effort.

What do you dislike about the product?

I find it problematic that, like other AI tools, sometimes CodeRabbit becomes unstoppable and generates useless comments. This can be frustrating and require additional effort to handle.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use CodeRabbit to streamline code reviews, removing the bottleneck of waiting for another developer's input. It increases my confidence by identifying bugs and integrates seamlessly with GitHub Actions.

What do you like best about the product?

The product itself has proven quite useful. It has already spotted a great number of issues that we definitely would not have spotted ourselves. We rely on it every single day.

It's pretty easy to get started and to customise the rules and settings on the online panel - although jumping between repo settings and org settings is a bit awkward UX-wise.

The sales and onboarding processes were very accommodating, even if a bit slow.

What do you dislike about the product?

By far the biggest downside of CodeRabbit is their customer support. They have a chatbot that only exists to pre-fill an email.

Despite the bot asking for my email address (which they already have on file), they sent the response to my request to our billing contact's email instead. When I pointed this out as a fairly glaring security lapse, their response completely ignored that. Further contacts went unanswered entirely.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

CodeRabbit's automated PR reviews are pointing out edge cases and minor security issues in our code that human reviewers would've been unlikely to spot. The additional fortification increases our code quality and frees up human capacity for higher value engineering tasks.

What do you like best about the product?

It's pretty good to maintain good code quality and prevent potential bugs, it catches them directly in the PR and even suggest code changes directly, saves tons of time. In case of false positive, you can easily tell it to ignore it next time and it'll keep it in mind for future PRs, same for code style, preferences, etc.. Pretty much anything

What do you dislike about the product?

Although it is pretty good and I'm 99% happy with what it suggests, it can happen that some times some suggestions arent that great or valuable, but this is an AI and it's pretty much to be expected, you can always easily discard them and let it know so it doesn't do it again.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm pretty much the only person working on a project and it makes it so I have "someone" else watching over the code I make

What do you like best about the product?

- easy to use, easy to converse with and interact with
- easy to implement

What do you dislike about the product?

I wish there was a progress meter or something when it is reviewing.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

- right now we have a small engineering team, and CodeRabbit gives us the extra security in having PRs reviewed, when we have limited engineers to run reviews currently.

What do you like best about the product?

- It explains analyzed PRs with diagrams and detailed descriptions, which really helps to review them later and make sure that the code does exactly what was expected
- It provides good quality code reviews, detecting bugs, not optimal implementations, missing tests, and suggests improvements
- It learns from feedback and communication with humans and does next reviews better
- It saves PR reviewers a lot of time by checking all the prerequisites.

What do you dislike about the product?

- It is unstoppable in its suggestions, providing comments and change requests even to the code, it suggested in previous iterations, so the process can run forever
- It still makes mistakes, and even after I ask to verify the suggestion or the fix, it is going to post, before the posting, it still doesn't do that, so we need to run another iteration of our discussion to verify it and correct if needed.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have many PRs from our community and lack of time fro review them by our maintainers of the project. CodeRabbitAI adds PR summary and explains the implementation. Also, it does code review before our maintainers and authors of the PRs can fix found issues even before a maintainer spends time on the review.

What do you like best about the product?

The review process has sped up greatly on my team. We less worry about nitpick comments manually and leave the reviewer up to reviewing the PR as a whole.

The automation here is great! Far deeper than I expected it to. Comittable comments are lovely.

What do you dislike about the product?

Only thing I can find is that there isn't a way to disable code review at an individual repo. I can edit lint rules and other settings. However I have some projects that I just don't care about automation and I would just rather have it skipped altogether.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Smaller team so review is often overlooked or no one has the background to fully review the changeset.

Having someone over my shoulder nitting something that I forgot or just set as a placeholder value is really nice.

What do you like best about the product?

Its easy to review prs with the help of ai summaries make the tasks abit simpler for me to review prs of anyone

What do you dislike about the product?

sometimes it pauses the auto reviews which we need to trigger manually soo yeah

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It allows us to easily review the pull requests.

What do you like best about the product?

I've been using code rabbit since the old days when it just used to be a GitHub action. Now it's a one step install GitHub app and it's become even more convenient.
Although I miss self hosting it, infact I still do a patched GitHub app from the old GitHub action, I can't sent that coderabbit has been awesome in adding new features and quality prompts/prompting techniques.

It really feels like the PR Review is there to help you, not just to say oh we got this cool this done by AI.

What do you dislike about the product?

I understand that it requires funds to run an org, but yeah, it's sad that coderabbit isn't mit or gpl anymore, though it's not that hard to make a GH app out of thier old GitHub actions, but I'd still recommend using their services since they improve so much so frequently.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

PR Review is a big bottleneck, often people that do it are a valuable resource for any org, and thier time could be well spent not worrying about low hanging fruits. This helps them not get overwhelmed and helps even someone that doesn't have much idea about the PR, get context and summary on it really fast and then walk through the code change hunks.
