Hi ProductHunt, Hunter and Nick here! Allow me to introduce Ellipsis, a GitHub bot that automatically performs deep, LLM-powered code reviews, fills in PR descriptions, and can even write working, tested code to fix bugs. Simply open a pull request to get an AI Code Review and summary. As you keep pushing code, Ellipsis will update the summary and review the new changes. If a bug pops up, you can squash it with 1-click fixes. πŸš€ Here's an example from jxnl/instructor (10K stars) πŸš€ πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’» What does it catch? Ellipsis will catch logical errors, anti-patterns, security issues, spelling & grammar mistakes, documentation drift, and more. Reviews take less than 3 minutes. You can even have Ellipsis enforce your team style guide rules, like this project. For example, you might add a rule like "Make sure new code has corresponding unit tests." Ellipsis will subsequently leave reminders on any pull requests that try to submit untested code. πŸ› How does it fix bugs? When Ellipsis finds a problem, it'll leave a comment on the offending line, just like a human would. Then, you can tag Ellipsis to have it implement the fix. This allows you to write working, tested code right from the GitHub UI! Internally, Ellipsis actually tests the code it writes by building your project, running the unit tests, linter, etc. πŸ†’ πŸš€ Why did we build this? We built Ellipsis because we are TIRED of the status quo code review process: create a PR, ask for review, move on to new task, receive feedback, reacquaint with old code, fix bug, go back to new task... there's too much context switching. With Ellipsis, the reviews are nearly instant and addressing feedback doesn't require checking out an old branch. ❓ Does it work? Yes. State-of-the-art LLM's aren't good enough (yet) to implement entire features, but they are good enough to catch and fix small mistakes in code. Our data shows that teams that use Ellipsis merge pull requests 13% faster than those that don't. Typically, a developer will get a "Looks good to me!" from Ellipsis before asking for a peer review, resulting in a higher quality discussions with fewer [nit] comments.

Awesome stat that teams are merging 13% faster - curious if this is across all types of features or if you've noticed a particular pattern of where it works best? One of the most expensive delays I notice on our engineering team is time spent waiting for someone to review. They have to finish up whatever deep work they're doing to quickly get up to speed on a new problem and make sure nothing will break. Excited to try it out and see how it helps us ship features faster and more incrementally.

@emmalawler24 great question! Ellipsis can actually test the code it writes, so it's very powerful when used by teams with good test coverage, this tends to be teams adding features (or fixing bugs) on the backend
ulearnr
@hunter_brooks Currently Ellipsis is using which ai models?
Hunter Brooks
@ulearnr all of them 😎 seriously, we use a variety of agents on the backend which call a variety of models

I require all team members' code to be reviewed by at least two other team members, but this does take up a lot of time. Ellipsis seems like it could help with this. Two questions: Can I customize code standards and then ask AI to review the code according to these standards? Also, is it easy to integrate into GitLab?
Tony Han
Ha LGTM-as-a-service! Love the little humor there. This honestly is a great addition especially if the team is stretched super thin and tech leads don't have time to do good code reviews. I've seen junior engineers suffer because tech leads don't give good reviews and they leave as a result. I assume the AI can leverage style guide you created so it will stay consistent and personalize the reviews? Congrats on the launch @hunter_brooks and team!
Hunter Brooks
@tonyhanded Exactly - we automatically infer your style guide AND allow you to "hardcode" it into a YAML file
Zenda
Congrats! For my small team, the automation of Ellipsis can solve a lot of problems for us! I would like to recommend it to my R&D team!
Hunter Brooks
@zenda1122 Please do! Installation takes 2 clicks and your team will get a 7 day trial

That's fantastic. Happy to see a tool that tackles the common pain points in the code review process. It effectively enhances development workflows and boosts productivity across teams. All the best for the launch!
Javid Jamae
Several of my teams have been using Ellipsis for 4-5 months now and the code reviews and ticket summaries are on point. It constantly catches things that human reviewers would have missed. It’s been a great tool!
Hunter Brooks
@javid_jamae Thanks! What do you think of the automatic PR summaries?
Javid Jamae
@hunter_brooks ah yes, that’s what I meant by ticket summaries. The PR summaries have been really useful!
Hunter Brooks
@javid_jamae great to hear, thanks!
Jared Zoneraich
Congrats on the launch! My team has been a customer since day 1 and it’s invaluable to our PR process
Sumeet Pannu
This is a great idea - looking forward to trying this out. Have been a bit disappointed with other tools that offer to write tests for me. The pricing seems pretty fair as well!
Arindam Majumder
This is really interesting, It will really Open Source maintainers like me. Great work Team Ellipsis.πŸ‘πŸΌ All the best for the launch πŸ”₯
Hunter Brooks
@arindam_1729 Thanks - we love sponsoring open source, so don't hesitate to reach out
Tim Petri
This is awesome. Code reviews seem like exactly the right place to start before we let code agents loose and make major changes in our code bases. What does the roadmap look like going forward?
Hunter Brooks
Great to hear you agree @timpetri 😎 As LLM's get smarter, we plan to increase to scope of the tasks that Ellipsis contributes to. Today, that's code review. I wonder what it'll be tomorrow...
Chris Dossman
Excellent product Hunter. We have been using it for months and can't go back, the whole engineering team loves it.
Nick Bradford
@cdossman awesome!! definitely let us know of any feedback or feature requests πŸ™
Samuel Barnholdt
I have tested a bunch of PR reviews solutions and no one comes close to Ellipsis. This is just worth it.
Ayaan Gill
Super exciting stuff! Definitely going to try this out to save precious dev time on our small team. Curious if you have any plans to expand the integrations available for the standup reports feature to other platforms (e.g. Teams, Discord, etc.)
Raunak Chowdhuri
Fantastic product! It makes thoughtful PR reviews and summaries which is honestly a big lift. It manages to get small issues solved on its own too.
Wayne Hamadi
Ellipsis is very helpful. I use it every day at bluewind. Here is one example: https://github.com/bluewind-ai/b... I particularly like the comment it made on the PR: https://github.com/bluewind-ai/b... PS: the name of the PR is not very original because I didn't feel inspired, but I also learned recently that Ellipsis can name the PR for you. I think you need to pass "..." to the title to activate the feature.
Nick Bradford
@wayne_bluewind that's right, if you use a literal ellipsis "..." we'll infer for you in conventional commit format! glad you're finding it useful πŸ™
Negou Seid
I like how easy the integration is! I also appreciate that I don't have to add credit card info before I can test it out!

Ellipsis is a powerful AI tool that enhances code quality and efficiency by automatically reviewing code and addressing bugs in pull requests. This tool helps developers by catching errors early, suggesting improvements, and ensuring adherence to best practices, ultimately speeding up the development process and reducing manual review effort.
Rose Kamal Love
Looks promising, asked the tech team to look into it.
Onovwie Divine
This tool is fantastic! It’s capability to identify logical bugs and enforce style guide rules with ease, will undoubtedly make the code review process more efficient.
Han Kim
Cool idea @hunter_brooks . I use ChatGPT all the time for coding new features - interesting to see AI being applied for code reviews. Would be great if you could have AI features for the entire QA process beyond just coding.
