Reading this made me think about how long my pull requests usually sit waiting. I often wonder if small issues could be caught earlier. This feels like it could reduce that waiting stress for me.
@maklyen_may Totally! And with the inline suggestions, you can commit the fixes right there in GitHub, so you don't have to any further context switching.

@maklyen_may @brian_turcotte neat!

@brian_turcotte any plans to support GitLab btw? heard great things about their founder

@iftekharahmad There are several ways to do this with Code Reviewer:
1. You can choose the review strictness between Strict, Balanced, and Lenient to adjust the severity of issue that Code Reviewer will flag
2. You can add custom instructions, to adjust the behavior/writing style of reviews
3. You can choose your Focus Area, selecting only the topics that matter to you or your team

@iftekharahmad to learn more about the review styles and focus areas, see the docs here. hope it helps!
The automation is interesting but I do worry about over dependency. My concern is whether developers might rely on it too much and miss deeper review thinking.
@christian_onochie That's a fair concern - we still recommend a human reviewer for changes that are going into production.
For those sensitive topics, Code Reviewer provides a first glance that can catch small/hidden issues faster than a human can, and reduce the review burden for senior engineers.
We believe these tools aren't a replacement for humans, but rather friction-removers that shift the responsibility away from busy work and more towards architecture and high-level decision making.
I wanted to ask how this works with legacy codebases. My projects often have older patterns mixed with new ones.
@awesome_america We've found that some of the frontier models (@Claude Code's Sonnet & Opus, @OpenAI's GPT 5.2 Codex) are very good at assessing projects with a lot technical debt or legacy frameworks.
Since you can change models at any time, you can also switch between models of different strengths when you're working on different parts of the project!
Love the open source angle of Kilo Code and the transparent pricing model (you can bring your own AI models too). How it handles larger codebases with multiple modules and complex dependencies compared with other AI coding assistants like Copilot or Cursor?
@hamza_afzal_butt Great question! For one, we have Orchestrator Mode which breaks down tasks into smaller subtasks to optimize context and token usage.
Additionally, we have parallel agents in both the CLI and IDE which allow you to work on different parts of larger projects at the same time, without conflict.
In terms of Code Reviewer, you can access code reviews in both the IDE for local reviews, and later in GitHub - meaning that you can choose different models with different strengths for each step of the way: building, reviewing locally, and reviewing in GitHub - covering more gaps for those larger projects.
This works as a Cloud Agent I presume.
awesome expansion of this product. Congrats to the team
@ivan_zografski Thank you! Exactly - and we also have Kilo Cloud Agents as well, if you want to try the experience underneath Code Reviewer!

@ivan_zografski @brian_turcotte spoiler alert 🤫
Gave it a first try today and its a very convenient feature. Certainly will continue using it.

your words just made our day 💛🖤
@florian_hubner Glad to hear that! Feel free to give us any feedback in our Discord!
Biggest pain point is slow first reviews and repeated nitpicks. Automating that upfront with Kilo makes a lot of sense. Looking forward
@anupamsingh0211 We agree!
Doesn't surprise me to see another masterpiece product "Code Review"... This is a big time saver, efficient and in house way to do PR. I am so happy to be part of Kilocode- they are a step ahead of everyone. The best thing about all their products like app builder, cloud agent, sessions is that as a developer we can stay focused without having to switch to individual plugins or extensions... Kilocode is a All in One Solution! Kudos to the team
@starchet Love to hear that! Thank you for the kind words :)

@arimesser follow-up question: what should they launch next? started a thread here in /p/kilocode, would love to have your opinion: https://www.producthunt.com/p/kilocode/what-should-kilo-code-launch-next
