ELI5 — The Vibe Check

Having an AI review your pull request before a human does. It catches bugs, style issues, security problems, and missing edge cases — instantly, at 3 AM, without complaining. It's not replacing human reviewers, but it handles the boring stuff so humans can focus on architecture and logic.

Real Talk

AI code review uses LLMs to automatically analyze pull requests for bugs, security vulnerabilities, performance issues, and style violations. Tools like CodeRabbit, Ellipsis, and GitHub Copilot PR review provide automated feedback. They complement human review by catching mechanical issues and providing consistent coverage.

When You'll Hear This

"The AI reviewer caught a SQL injection I missed." / "AI code review for the nits, human review for the design."
