AI code reviews in IDE
Get instant feedback on your code changes directly within VS Code or JetBrains IDEs.
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.
The AI Code Review Agent helps you improve your code as you develop, so you don't have to wait for days to get feedback. This accelerates development cycles, boosts team productivity, and ensures higher code quality.
You can start using the Agent immediately—no setup is required!

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.

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.
