Ask HN: Merge Request Review Agent?

2 surrTurr 3 5/27/2025, 4:49:40 PM

Looking for an agent that I can use to create a MR review for MRs e.g. on GitLab.

The agent should review the changes using (1) git diff (2) rag on codebase (3) other sources, e.g. web

Yes, I could build this myself using e.g. langchain; however, I think this has been built hundrets of times by now; therefore my question: are there any ready to use agents for this kind of task?

Here is a list of a few tools that do something like that: jazzberry ai, greptile, coderabbit, codeant (lots of code), cubic, qodo.

GitLab may also have a code review tool available now (I know that GitHub does)

GitLab Duo is available in Merge Requests and can do reviews (and other tasks, as well): https://docs.gitlab.com/user/project/merge_requests/duo_in_m...
