cubic

AI code review platform from London that reviews every pull request against the whole codebase and runs nightly scans for bugs and vulnerabilities.

7.7/10
Overall Score
Recommend

cubic checks each pull request against the full codebase and a team's own written rules, so it catches bugs that break code outside the diff.

Best for

Fast-moving software teams with complex codebases who want an AI first reviewer that learns their conventions and auto-approves low-risk changes.

Not ideal for

Teams that want a free reviewer for large volumes of code, or companies that need a long vendor track record.

Verdict

cubic is an AI code review company in London, United Kingdom, founded in 2025 by Allis Yao and Paul Sanglé-Ferrière and backed by Y Combinator. Teams such as n8n, Legora, Cal.com, and Firecrawl install it on GitHub so it reviews each pull request with context from the whole codebase, turns senior engineers' past comments into rules, and scans the codebase for bugs on a schedule. It matters because AI coding tools have multiplied the code waiting for review, and cubic clears routine issues before a human opens the diff.
