After you open a pull request, the reviewer needs time to read through your changes, leave comments, and ask for fixes. Even small issues can stretch into several rounds. 

Your team has set up Bito to make this process faster. Next time you open a pull request, Bito will review your code automatically, add inline comments, and suggest one click fixes. 

You’ll see its feedback right next to your code so you can resolve issues early and get your pull requests approved faster. 

What happens when you submit a pull request 

When you open a pull request, Bito reviews your code automatically. You will see comments appear inline, pointing out issues or areas that can be improved. 

  • Line by line feedback: Bito adds comments directly in your pull request so you can see exactly what needs attention. 
  • Codebase aware review: It analyzes your entire repository, not just the file you changed, to give contextually accurate feedback. 
  • One click fixes: For most issues, you can apply a suggested fix instantly and move ahead without breaking your flow. 

The result is fewer review cycles, cleaner pull requests, and faster merges. What might have taken several rounds of feedback can now be ready after just one.

Sample PR with Bito

If you want to catch issues before creating a pull request, you can also run Bito inside your IDE. That way, your code is already in better shape when you push it for review. 

Making the most of AI feedback 

You can act on Bito’s feedback in ways that make your code better and your workflow faster. 

  • Apply fixes instantly: Most of the comments include suggested code changes. You can accept them with one click and commit the fix. 
  • Share your feedback: If you see a false positive, mark it so the agent learns what to ignore in future reviews. This keeps noise down and makes feedback sharper over time. More here
  • Ask follow up questions: Tag @bitoagent in the pull request if you need clarification or want an alternate fix. The agent responds in the PR thread in seconds. More here

This turns code review into a two way interaction. Instead of static comments, you can fix issues, refine suggestions, and get clarifications in real time.  

For you, this means no more waiting overnight for someone to answer a small question. You can resolve it on the spot and move forward. 

Going beyond AI code review basics 

Bito also supports advanced features that make reviews more consistent across your team. These are managed by your workspace leads but still impact your pull requests. 

  • Custom review rules: Your team can add coding or security guidelines, and Bito checks your PRs against them automatically. 👉 Learn more about custom rules
  • Jira validation: If Bito is connected to Jira, it verifies that your changes match linked tickets so nothing slips through. 👉 See Jira validation setup 
  • Review analytics: Bito tracks review trends to help your team improve the process. You’ll notice fewer repeated comments over time. 👉 Check review analytics 

These features keep your reviews predictable and make it easier to meet team standards every time you submit code. 

👉 You can read more about Bito’s features in the docs. 

Why Developers love Bito  

Developers like Bito because it catches most of the small issues before a teammate ever looks at the code. 

  • Cleaner PRs, faster merges: Small issues are handled early, so reviewers spend less time on nitpicks and more time on real logic. 
  • Confidence in your code: You know checks have already run across the repo, so you hand reviewers code that is ready to merge.
  • Time savings: Less time fixing small mistakes means more time building features. 

And teams have seen real results: 

  • At Apica, developers merged pull requests 83% faster after using Bito. 
  • At Gainsight, PR cycles were 49% faster, cutting down wasted review time. 

The outcome is the same across teams: quicker merges, higher quality code, and less time waiting for reviews. 

Final words 

As a developer, the hardest part of a pull request is often the waiting. Bito reviews your code instantly and catches issues before they slow you down. 

By the time a teammate looks at your PR, most of the small problems are already fixed. That means fewer review cycles, quicker merges, and less stress for you. 

You will see Bito in your next pull request. Try applying a suggested fix or tagging @bitoagent to see how it works.
