LLM-assisted code review tool

Build a code review tool that uses LLMs to suggest and explain patches. Help maintainers handle contributor submissions.

Why now

Even experienced developers are beginning to use AI for code contributions, creating demand for review tools.

Who for
Software development teams
Business model
SaaS subscriptions
Effort
A few months

Open source maintainers face increasing volumes of AI-assisted patches. A tool that analyzes and explains LLM-generated code changes would streamline review.

Target open source projects and enterprise development teams. Offer both cloud and self-hosted versions.

The MVP could focus on GitHub integration with basic change analysis. The risk is large platforms building this functionality natively.
