ours has been perfectly satisfactory and better than the paid offerings we've tried

Helped: In-house thin wrapper with per-repo skills and webhooks.

Got in the way: Paid SaaS offerings like Coderabbit and Qodo were trash.

… It is not a substitute for reviews from other engineers though, since obviously it does nothing to achieve one of the main goals of code review, which is to socialize knowledge of the codebase. Alibaba's work here is almost certainly more advanced than what we've done, but ours has been perfectly satisfactory and better than the paid offerings we've tried. I think most teams should not be paying SaaS fees for AI code review, that is the kind of business that mostly should not exist any more.
