“CodeRabbit worked really well for us—caught bugs and implementation gotchas, and its learnings meant it didn't keep nailing intentional patterns. Greptile was pretty much pure noise on the three PRs we tried (wrong style advice, fake 'python 3.14 doesn't exist' logic errors, vague architecture nits), so we gave up.”

“Besides having Codex and Claude review each other, we've been running multi-model AI reviews on every PR through Greptile, CodeRabbit, Codex, Gemini, and Copilot. They never fully overlap—and they somehow usually all miss the same things.”
