I Built an AI Tool That Reviews GitHub PRs β€” Would Love Your Feedback

πŸš€ I Built an AI Tool That Reviews GitHub PRs β€” Would Love Your Feedback πŸ™

Hey dev.to folks πŸ‘‹

I'm a solo dev who's been working on a tool called SmartReviewer β€” it automatically reviews your GitHub Pull Requests using AI and static analysis.

The idea came from pain I’ve felt myself:

Opening a PR and wondering β€œIs this secure? Is this performant? Did I just ship a bug?”

So I built something to help.


🧠 What it does

When you open or update a PR, SmartReviewer:

  • Adds inline comments about security, performance, and code quality issues
  • Combines static analysis + AI-powered suggestions
  • Gives feedback instantly, right inside the PR
  • Works with JavaScript / TypeScript (for now)

It’s kinda like having an AI team lead review your code.


πŸ› οΈ How it works

  • Connect your GitHub repo
  • Select which repos to enable
  • Done βœ… β€” it’ll auto-review new PRs and comment suggestions

You also get a dashboard to:

  • Track issue types across PRs
  • Monitor how your team is doing over time

πŸ’‘ Why I built it

I wanted faster feedback without relying on teammates being available. Also, most tools only lint for syntax or formatting β€” I wanted deeper insights.

Plus, it’s fun to build stuff that feels like magic ✨


πŸ‘€ Try it out

πŸ”— https://app.smartreviewer.dev

It’s free to try β€” no credit card or weird hoops.


πŸ™ Would love your thoughts

  • What do you think about the idea?
  • Anything that feels confusing or could be better?
  • Would you use something like this?

I'm early in the journey (still hunting for the first 50 real users), so your feedback would mean the world πŸ™‡β€β™‚οΈ

Thanks for reading ❀️
