PR-Agent — extension that adds AI chat to code reviews on GitHub

I&#x27;m sorry if this makes me sound like a cranky old man but I find the idea of AI-generated PR description and reviews entirely misses the mark of what they&#x27;re for.<p>The PR description should contain the context that made a change necessary, which is something that can not be contained in the change itself and thus can&#x27;t reliably be inferred from it.<p>And if I request a PR review, I trust <i>you</i>, as my peer, to understand the problem my change is trying to solve and to judge whether it succeeds in doing so. If I wanted AI suggestions for it I can skip the middleman.<p>I guess the &quot;chat with the codebase&quot; feature could be useful, but the auto-review feature just gives me very uncanny vibes. If someone would &quot;review&quot; my code by blasting it through an LLM I&#x27;d be ticked off.

Oh, Codium?<p>My last company had codium on our internal codebases for PR review&#x2F;summary. I found it neat, but I never saw it make any suggestions that surpassed linting. But as a lazy dev who didn&#x27;t want to rewrite all the details I put in my commit messages when making a PR, I felt it did a pretty good job summarizing.<p>Funny story: One time I jokingly asked it to rate the skill level of the programmer who wrote a certain PR (which was created by me). It was very complimentary of my skills, which I shared in the humor chat about how it was a very smart AI. The very next day I was laid off (unrelated, it was along with most of my team).

There&#x27;s an open source version of this as well: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Codium-ai&#x2F;pr-agent">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Codium-ai&#x2F;pr-agent</a>

Looks interesting at the same moment, I don&#x27;t know why it should be a chrome extension and not a hook into my workflow like Coderabbit dot ai.<p>What I love with these tools, I&#x27;m getting productive. Although, I&#x27;d still like to do the review myself.

Has anyone here tried out <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;freeedcom&#x2F;ai-codereviewer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;freeedcom&#x2F;ai-codereviewer</a> which I suspect is something similar only in GHA form?

Most of the reviews for this extension look like they were generated with LLM.

This looks like a security nightmare

Wow there really is nothing that people won&#x27;t shoehorn AI into these days eh? What is the point of this? What is the net business benefit, other than &quot;but, but it&#x27;s got AI&quot;?
