Unlock the power of AI-driven code reviews in VS Code and all JetBrains IDEs (including IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, and more) with Bito's AI Code Review Agent. This tool provides real-time, human-like feedback on your code changes, catching common issues before you submit a pull request.

Each item will contain the following details:

  • Issue description: Description of the identified issue.

  • Fix description: Recommended approach or steps to resolve the issue.

  • File path: The file containing the issue.

  • Code suggestion: The AI-generated code fix for the issue.

Each code suggestion includes an Apply button. Click it to open the diff view, where you can review the changes and choose to accept or undo them.

To view past code reviews, click the Session history icon in the top-right corner of the Bito Panel. This opens the Session history tab, which lists all your previous code review sessions.

From the list, click any session to open it and view the complete code review details along with the AI suggestions.
