The Problem

Engineering teams are adopting AI coding tools faster than their review processes can adapt. Developers are generating more PRs, often in unfamiliar areas of the stack, while still needing to understand whether the implementation direction is correct. Existing AI review tools can catch technical issues, but they often miss intent, architecture fit, and whether the PR solves the right problem.

Potential Solution

Offer a productized code review desk for teams using AI coding agents. The service reviews AI-generated PRs against an agreed risk rubric, checks implementation direction against product and architecture intent, and requires short design-decision explanations before code is merged. Over time, the workflow can be partially productized into review checklists, repo-specific prompts, CI gates, and reviewer playbooks.

Why Now?

AI coding agents are increasing code volume and pushing developers into manager-like review roles. Teams are already discussing slowing down, disabling auto-accept, and adding stronger review discipline for critical work.

OpenAlly: AI Agents for Work

I use the GitHub AI assistant to check issues, pull requests and build status while away from my laptop. It is read-only, so I can give an agent visibility without letting it modify the repo. Great for quick project updates.

GitHub Copilot for Jira

Works for everything pretty well... except for what we actually wanted. Code moves pretty quickly and documentation always falls behind- even with agents doing their best. When there is a nuanced question from a customer we want to enable our service agents to be able to ask "Does the code do this nuanced thing?" and have copilot do a scan and give a sensible answer. This means we want it in Jira Service Management, which it doesn't seem to support.

Beads, Better Specs, and Less Rework

Agents and Engineers: Agentic AI with Dan Gerlanc

Andrew Zigler

Yeah. So well for for AI code review itself specifically, that's what a lot of what we do at Linear B provides to teams. So we're engineering productivity platform. And as part of that, teams need AI code review to understand like their merge rate and get a control on it. And you have these teams where like they huge amounts of agent PRs that pile up, right? And then none of them get merged. So for us, we attack it at the CI C D level, at the GitHub actions level. You work in the in the pull request, you work where things are getting labeled and delivered. And then you can have you can do things like filter by labeling. You can have other automations that are doing that labeling.

Making AI agents work in your team 🤖 — with Dennis Pilarinos

Refactoring So the journey is I'm generating a bunch of code. Now I'm bottlenecked on code review. ~ And so people are now scrambling to kind of go and solve that problem, I would say. From our perspective, we provide, you know, context for agents. So the quality of the code is actually better. We can talk a little bit about that. Yeah. But we also provide a context-powered code review agent. So this what what ends up happening is that people are now faced with this overwhelming number of code reviews. They're gonna use agents, hopefully, that feel like they're extended members of the team, that they know the organization's best practices, so on and so forth.
