Show HN: An automated code review tool using GPT3 (github.com/vibovenkat123)

Why are there no examples of actual code reviews made by this tool? The screenshot is just of the install script. Surely review quality is the primary question here?


Haven't tried reviewing code via gpt before.

Was curious about review quality this generates. Found the prompt in

https://github.com/vibovenkat123/review-gpt/blob/2a026288e5b...

Tried it in my playground, results were quite underwhelming: verbose, often wrong(suggesting non-existing api alternatives).

Here is an example that's somewhat believable: https://private.overthinker.dev/shared/7fff1bc9-15b2-4d3b-b1...

Here is an example with my improved prompt: https://private.overthinker.dev/shared/46a4d945-68d8-468c-aa...


I made one months ago for php which I didn’t release because it was on chatgpt. It worked well; it told the devs (of an external company; I was hired to do the code review) exactly what was wrong and how to fix it. They didn’t ask me to fix anything, just review it, so that’s what the tool did. I told them it was automated, however I spent times making the automation so they paid for that.

It cannot auto update the code, so it’s not that handy as a product, but saves work on large codebase.


So let's clarify: you were hired to do code review and instead you sent all the source code provided to 3rd party service with not necessarily well known rules[0] when it comes to handling and processing data?

All of that when big behemoths like Amazon are actively discouraging employees from sharing any work-related data with such services.

Interesting.

It would be nice to have a sample screenshot, as a lot of these GPT review tools aren't functional.


This a a great idea. I can’t wait to try it out this weekend.
