CodeRabbit is AI-powered code reviews built for modern development teams |
import Tabs from '@theme/Tabs'; import TabItem from '@theme/TabItem';
Looking back at CodeRabbit's journey, our fundamental reasons remain unchanged:
- To build the best code review experience in the tech
This continues to be our core mission. It was clear to us then, as it is now, that development workflows are becoming increasingly complex — and teams need intelligent automation to maintain quality while moving fast.
- In an ever-evolving tech space, we believe AI-powered code review is the future
Just like Git revolutionized version control and CI/CD transformed deployments, we believe AI-assisted code review will become the standard for quality assurance.
- An insight that modern code review can be reimagined
We call this approach contextual analysis, which allows us to understand not just the code changes, but their implications across your entire codebase. This enables us to provide insights about:
-
Security vulnerabilities
-
Performance impacts
-
Architectural changes
-
Best practices
-
Knowledge sharing
-
The conviction that our AI can provide a better Developer Experience (DevX)
Features such as:
- Instant analysis
- On-demand Reports
- Review Instructions
- CodeRabbit Commands
- PR summary on the fly
- Visual diagrams
- Docstrings (Beta)
- Custom review rules
All these features improve the developer experience by reducing review time, maintaining consistency, and sharing knowledge effectively across teams.
These are CodeRabbit's foundational principles, but given the many code review tools available today, let's explore why you should choose CodeRabbit:
Your intelligent code review companion that understands context.
From its foundation as a Generative AI-first platform, CodeRabbit has evolved to become the preferred code review tool among developers because of its speed, intelligence, adaptability, and support for features like contextual analysis, security scanning, and architectural insights. CodeRabbit supports all major programming languages and integrates with popular development tools.

An AI architecture built for understanding, reliability, and efficiency
:::tip DID YOU KNOW? CodeRabbit's AI can detect potential issues that would only surface in production, saving costly debugging time later. :::
Let the AI learn and grow with your team.
Being an adaptive system means that CodeRabbit continuously learns from your team's practices and preferences without requiring manual configuration or rule setting. When reviewers accept or reject suggestions, CodeRabbit learns and applies these preferences to future reviews.
Here's a real example of how CodeRabbit identifies opportunities for performance improvement:
```typescript const createdTools = await Promise.all( tools.map(async (tool) => { return prisma.tool.create({ data: { name: tool.name, description: tool.description, headline: tool.headline, features: tool.features, logo: tool.name, categories: tool.categories || [], tags: tool.tags || [], stars: tool.stars || 0, forks: tool.forks || 0, lastUpdated: new Date(), websiteUrl: tool.websiteUrl, githubUrl: tool?.githubUrl, documentation: tool?.documentation }, }); }) ); ``` ```typescript const createdTools = await prisma.tool.createMany({ data: tools.map((tool) => ({ name: tool.name, description: tool.description, headline: tool.headline, features: tool.features, logo: tool.name, categories: tool.categories || [], tags: tool.tags || [], stars: tool.stars || 0, forks: tool.forks || 0, lastUpdated: new Date(), websiteUrl: tool.websiteUrl, githubUrl: tool?.githubUrl, documentation: tool?.documentation })) }); ```:::note CodeRabbit's Analysis
The current implementation processes each tool creation sequentially. Consider using Prisma's createMany for better performance. This batch operation can significantly reduce database round trips and improve overall execution time.
When suggesting improvements, CodeRabbit:
:::tip Learning from Feedback When you accept or reject these suggestions, CodeRabbit learns your team's preferences and adjusts future recommendations accordingly. This ensures that suggestions become increasingly relevant to your specific needs and coding standards. :::
Seamless integration with your existing workflow.
