How do reviews in the IDE work?

CodeRabbit offers a multi-layered approach with AI code reviews both in the IDE and in your PR/MR. Developers can install the VS Code plugin for quick reviews on every committed and uncommitted change, no subscription needed. This is a light-weight version of CodeRabbit that is meant to catch most bugs directly in your editor, before conducting a more comprehensive review in your PR.

How accurate is CodeRabbit in identifying code issues?

CodeRabbit uses the latest foundational LLMs for code reviews along with built-in intelligence that enhances reviews with additional context around code changes. By analyzing your codebase, file dependencies, and learning from your coding style, CodeRabbit is able to provide highly accurate and relevant feedback that catches 95%+ bugs.
