Free, unlimited AI code reviews that run on commit

GenAI is like a race car without brakes. It accelerates fast — you describe something, and large blocks of code appear instantly. But AI agents silently break things. They remove logic. Relax constraints. Introduce expensive cloud calls. Leak credentials. Change behavior without telling you. git-lrc is your braking system. It hooks into git commit and runs an AI review on every diff before it lands.
git-lrc
git-lrc started from a practical observation within my own team.
As our usage of AI coding tools like Copilot, Cursor, etc., increased, our velocity seemingly went up—but careful checking of the AI-generated code went down.
Engineers were committing code they hadn’t truly examined.
Reviews were happening later, sometimes too late, and often superficially (because AI generates tons of code)
This led to abstruse bugs and long debugging at prod.
Clearly, we needed a solution.
I didn’t want another dashboard. I wanted a strong nudge to review code at the right place—exactly where responsibility is bound to exist: git commit.
I prototyped git-lrc such that AI helps the developer work through diffs faster, acquire an understanding of what's going on, and fix issues on a commit-by-commit basis.
git-lrc was built with the idea that review shouldn’t be an afterthought. It should be structurally encouraged while putting the developer in control.
So in git-lrc, while a review is triggered automatically, the dev can still consciously skip the review.
Or they can manually review and "vouch" for the change they are making.
All these micro review decisions get recorded in git log—for future analysis so that the team could operate at higher engineering standards.
As to git-lrc, it takes 60 seconds to set up and is completely free for any number of reviews—thanks to Google Gemini's Free tier.
I encourage you to give git-lrc a try and see the difference in the quality of your code as well as concrete outcomes such as reduced production bugs.

Congratulations on the launch, super cool idea! Pre-commit code review sounds like the perfect time to catch the bugs from AI-gen code.
A few questions that come to mind:
- how configurable are the checks? (can team introduce some specific domains to handle in certain way?)
- do you have any metrics yet on false positivie rates?
- and what happens when teams ship huge diffs?

Hi Lukasz,
Thanks for your interest; pre-commit hooks for AI reviews have been a game changer in our experience.
Presently we have some prompt customization at the org level. Are you thinking more from a repo-level config angle?
We are planning to bring a feedback loop like we do in YT recommendation system. Right now - we have tweaked things based on subjective/experiential feedback across users.
Huge diffs are handled just fine due to the way we handle context, batching, and so on.
Hopefully this helps. Happy to share more details over email if required at shrijith <at> hexmos.com

@saurabhsaharan you got that exactly right, this is to draw your attention to potential issues and also important changes. You get plain English explanation for each commit, that's all.
Hi @shrsv ,
Loved the “race car without brakes” → “braking system” framing for git-lrc. Very intuitive.
One thought: as AI-assisted coding scales, positioning git-lrc as a CI-level guardrail or AI governance layer for teams might unlock a stronger B2B narrative beyond individual dev safety.
Curious how you’re thinking about team adoption vs solo developers.

@harsh_upadhyay10 Hi Harsh, we already have a team-level code review product LiveReview, which provides more features—such as dashboards, metrics, git host integrations, multiple AI backend support, etc. The larger platform has affordable paid plans for teams.

git-lrc and LiveReview supplement each other
How is this different from pre-commit checks and optional llm review that ide's already provided? Or is this specific to terminal based use cases? I don't really know of any terminal based review checks other than depending on a terminal llm utility directly. So, that seems unique.
git-lrc
@sudhir_babu2 It's a Git-level integration, so it can be used across a team—regardless of which IDE/editor preferences different members of a team may have.
So it's good for getting uniform reviews as a team-level standards enforcement.
We have extensions for VSCode/AntiGravity/Cursor as well (search for "LiveReview").

So do I understand it correctly, that it's sending my commits to your backend and you provide with code review on those?
git-lrc
We run a cloud coordinator for convenience, yes, but the whole system is Source-Available on github; you can self host your version if you so wish.
I really like the idea. But what exactly does it check? Are there internal rules or standards?
git-lrc
@mykyta_semenov_ Hi Mykyta,
It checks for issues that impact production stability, cost, and correctness of the system under scan.
Concretely, we have 40 subcategories, such as performance, security, correctness, implementation complexity, cloud cost, regressions, etc., which are automatically detected.
Do give it a try for yourself. Also, we already have some customization capabilities for teams and will be enhancing them further in the upcoming days.
Please email Shrijith at hexmos.com, and I will be happy to hear more about the exact kind of issues you want identified and adjust the software to meet your needs.
