Kodus
AI-powered code reviews that learn your team's standards
Kodus provides context‑aware, AI-driven pull‑request reviews, automatically learning your codebase and policies to catch bugs, enforce best practices, and improve quality across any language.
Overview
Overview
Kodus is an AI agent that acts as a tireless senior developer, delivering context‑aware code reviews directly in Git pull requests. By analyzing your repository’s history and custom review policies written in plain language, it offers actionable feedback on bugs, security, performance, and readability. All programming languages receive semantic analysis via a large language model, while a curated set (TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Java, Go, Ruby, PHP, C#, Rust) also benefits from AST‑based structural checks for higher precision.
Deployment Options
You can start instantly with the fully‑managed Cloud edition, which adds Kody learnings, productivity metrics, and unlimited review rules. For teams that need full control, the self‑hosted edition can be deployed via the provided CLI or Docker image, running on your own infrastructure while retaining the core review capabilities. Whether you run a monorepo with many languages or a focused codebase, Kodus adapts to your workflow and scales with your team.
Highlights
Context‑aware intelligence learns codebase and team standards
Custom review policies defined in plain language
Native Git integration delivers feedback directly in PRs
Continuous learning improves accuracy over time
Pros
- Learns and enforces your team's coding style
- Supports every programming language via semantic analysis
- Seamless integration with existing Git workflows
- Self‑hosted option provides full data control
Considerations
- AST‑based analysis limited to a subset of languages
- Advanced cloud features require a paid subscription
- Relies on external LLM APIs, needing an API key
- Initial configuration may require policy authoring

Fit guide
Great for
- Engineering teams that want automated, consistent code quality checks
- Projects with mixed‑language stacks needing a single review solution
- Organizations preferring self‑hosted AI for data privacy
- Teams looking to codify and enforce internal coding standards
Not ideal when
- Solo developers with minimal review requirements
- Teams unable to provide LLM API credentials
- Environments that need strict compliance without Enterprise tier
- Use cases requiring real‑time IDE suggestions rather than PR reviews
How teams use it
