News and Updates

December 25, 2024

The review tool previously included a legacy feature for providing code suggestions (controlled by '--pr_reviewer.num_code_suggestion'). This functionality has been deprecated. Use instead the improve tool, which offers higher quality and more actionable code suggestions.

December 2, 2024

Open-source repositories can now freely use Qodo Merge Pro, and enjoy easy one-click installation using a marketplace app.

See here for more details about installing Qodo Merge Pro for private repositories.

November 18, 2024

A new mode was enabled by default for code suggestions - --pr_code_suggestions.focus_only_on_problems=true:

• This option reduces the number of code suggestions received
• The suggestions will focus more on identifying and fixing code problems, rather than style considerations like best practices, maintainability, or readability.
• The suggestions will be categorized into just two groups: "Possible Issues" and "General".

Still, if you prefer the previous mode, you can set --pr_code_suggestions.focus_only_on_problems=false in the configuration file.

Try it now

Try the GPT-4 powered PR-Agent instantly on your public GitHub repository. Just mention @CodiumAI-Agent and add the desired command in any PR comment. The agent will generate a response based on your command. For example, add a comment to any pull request with the following text:

@CodiumAI-Agent /review

and the agent will respond with a review of your PR.

Note that this is a promotional bot, suitable only for initial experimentation. It does not have 'edit' access to your repo, for example, so it cannot update the PR description or add labels (@CodiumAI-Agent /describe will publish PR description as a comment). In addition, the bot cannot be used on private repositories, as it does not have access to the files there.

To set up your own PR-Agent, see the Installation section below. Note that when you set your own PR-Agent or use CodiumAI hosted PR-Agent, there is no need to mention @CodiumAI-Agent .... Instead, directly start with the command, e.g., /ask ....

Why use PR-Agent?

A reasonable question that can be asked is: "Why use PR-Agent? What makes it stand out from existing tools?"

Here are some advantages of PR-Agent:

• We emphasize real-life practical usage. Each tool (review, improve, ask, ...) has a single GPT-4 call, no more. We feel that this is critical for realistic team usage - obtaining an answer quickly (~30 seconds) and affordably.
• Our PR Compression strategy is a core ability that enables to effectively tackle both short and long PRs.
• Our JSON prompting strategy enables to have modular, customizable tools. For example, the '/review' tool categories can be controlled via the configuration file. Adding additional categories is easy and accessible.
• We support multiple git providers (GitHub, Gitlab, Bitbucket), multiple ways to use the tool (CLI, GitHub Action, GitHub App, Docker, ...), and multiple models (GPT-4, GPT-3.5, Anthropic, Cohere, Llama2).

Data privacy

Self-hosted PR-Agent

• If you host PR-Agent with your OpenAI API key, it is between you and OpenAI. You can read their API data privacy policy here: https://openai.com/enterprise-privacy

CodiumAI-hosted PR-Agent Pro 💎

• When using PR-Agent Pro 💎, hosted by CodiumAI, we will not store any of your data, nor will we use it for training. You will also benefit from an OpenAI account with zero data retention.

• For certain clients, CodiumAI-hosted PR-Agent Pro will use CodiumAI’s proprietary models — if this is the case, you will be notified.

• No passive collection of Code and Pull Requests’ data — PR-Agent will be active only when you invoke it, and it will then extract and analyze only data relevant to the executed command and queried pull request.

PR-Agent Chrome extension

• The PR-Agent Chrome extension serves solely to modify the visual appearance of a GitHub PR screen. It does not transmit any user's repo or pull request code. Code is only sent for processing when a user submits a GitHub comment that activates a PR-Agent tool, in accordance with the standard privacy policy of PR-Agent.
