As we move from late summer into early fall, Bito has rolled out a series of product enhancements to improve your coding experience. 

We’ve upgraded our AI, added powerful functionalities, and improved our pricing and plans to offer developers like you more value. 

Here’s an overview of our latest releases:

1. Changelist for viewing key changes per file in a pull request. 
2. Chain of Thought method for progressive step-by-step AI reasoning.
3. Anthropic Claude Sonnet 3.5 model, upgraded from GPT-4, for enhanced code understanding in AI code reviews.
4. In-depth codebase understanding for accurate AI code reviews in IDEs. 
5. GPT-4o powers Advanced AI requests for high-complexity tasks, while GPT-4o mini handles Basic AI requests for everyday coding tasks. 
6. AI Chat and Code Review Analytics dashboards to track team usage and code review metrics. 
7. 10X Developer Plan upgrades offer more value at the same reasonable price: 50% more GPT-4o requests and 70% less per additional request. 
8. Support for Bitbucket in AI Code Review Agent.

Let’s explore each in further detail:

1. Introducing Changelist

The new Changelist feature provides a tabular view that highlights key changes in your pull requests, allowing you to quickly spot important updates at-a-glance without reviewing every line of code. By categorizing modifications and highlighting impacted files, it offers a clear snapshot of what’s changed, saving you time and ensuring thorough reviews.

2. The Chain of Thought approach

With the introduction of the Chain of Thought approach, Bito’s AI Code Review Agent now analyzes your code through step-by-step reasoning. This results in precise feedback and detailed explanations, helping you enhance code quality and catch potential issues early on.

3. Claude Sonnet 3.5 for AI code reviews

We’ve upgraded the AI Code Review Agent to exclusively use the Anthropic Claude Sonnet 3.5 model. This advanced AI excels at understanding complex code patterns and provides actionable recommendations, making your code reviews more accurate and reliable. We’ve seen material improvements in Bito code review suggestions accepted since making the change.

4. Code reviews with advanced codebase understanding

Bito’s IDE extensions for VS Code and JetBrains now offer advanced codebase understanding by fully grasping your entire repository context. This means more relevant code reviews tailored to your project’s specific needs, with actionable suggestions delivered right within your coding environment.

5. Introducing GPT-4o and GPT-4o mini

GPT-4o is now powering all Advanced AI requests, delivering unparalleled performance for high-complexity tasks that require advanced reasoning and problem-solving capabilities. Available exclusively on the 10X Developer Plan, this upgrade empowers you to tackle your most challenging coding problems, making AI assistance more powerful and effective than ever. 

GPT-4o mini is now the default AI model for all Basic AI requests, accessible on both the Free Plan and the 10X Developer Plan. This upgrade brings improved performance and efficiency to your everyday coding tasks.

6. Introducing analytics dashboards

To empower your team with data-driven insights and optimize your development workflow, we’ve launched new analytics dashboards that provide a deeper understanding of your team’s interactions and code review processes. 

AI Chat Analytics

The AI Chat Analytics dashboard offers valuable metrics like total chats, chats per user, and model usage. These insights help you understand how your team interacts with Bito AI and where you can optimize workflows for better productivity.

Code Review Analytics

Discover the new Code Review Analytics for an in-depth look into your code review process. These user-friendly reports help you track key metrics such as pull requests reviewed, issues found, lines of code reviewed, and individual contributions. By visualizing these essential aspects, you can optimize workflows, improve code quality, and acknowledge team members’ efforts.

7. Billing and plan updates

We’ve enhanced our 10X Developer Plan to provide even more value. You’ll now receive 50% more GPT-4o requests per month — up from 400 to 600 — and we’ve reduced the cost for additional requests by 70%, from $0.10 to $0.03 per request. All these benefits come at the same affordable price of $15. 

Plus, we’ve introduced a new Team Plan designed for engineering organizations in need of on-prem code reviews, CI/CD pipeline integrations, dedicated support, and scalable pricing. Interested to learn more about the Team Plan? Let’s connect!

8. Bitbucket support

For developers using Bitbucket, integration with our AI Code Review Agent is now seamless. With a simple one-click install and no downloads required, you can receive AI-powered code reviews directly as comments within your pull requests.
