Devin Review: AI to Stop Slop

Summary

As coding agents proliferate, the # of PRs increases, but the quality of that code can be mixed, and the size of each PR is increasing past maintainers' ability to understand. We're hearing from our customers that code review—not code generation—is now the bottleneck to shipping great products.That's why we built Devin Review, a code review tool that uses state-of-the-art AI + UX to scale human understanding of ever-more-complex code diffs—whether authored by a human, or an agent.Devin Review is currently free, while in early release, and works on any public or private GitHub PR. You can use it in three ways:Devin users: head to app.devin.ai/review to see all your open PRs.

But this breaks down quickly for large reviews. We call this the "Lazy LGTM problem".More broadly, the feeling that people have of extreme productivity with coding agents in their vibecoded prototypes, vs the disappointing feeling that most people actually see in the useful output of their engineers, organizations, and experience as end users, is the great mystery of our time.To paraphrase Winston Churchill: "Never in the field of software engineering has so much code been created by so many, yet shipped to so few."The Modern Code Review WorkflowDevin Review adds AI tooling to help you scale your PR understanding, so you quickly and fully understand the code you are about to merge.
