Chatting with my AI Code Review Agent

Table of Contents

There are two types of code review comments: the ones you understand instantly, and the ones that leave you staring at the screen wondering why that line got flagged. I’ve been there more times than I can count.

Over the last few weeks, I have been using Bito’s AI Code Review Agent to review my pull requests. It leaves inline comments, flags bugs, and summarizes changes. But up until now, it was a one-way street. The agent spoke. I read.

But now, Bito lets you talk back. That sounds small, but if you’re running a team, it matters. Every unanswered comment, every vague suggestion, every junior dev waiting for clarity — Bito’s new chat feature cuts that loop short.

You can reply to Bito directly in the pull request. It responds right there in the thread, in your language, with context.

What is Bito’s AI Code Review Agent?

Before we get into the new stuff, a quick refresher if you’re a new reader:

Bito’s AI Code Review Agent reviews pull requests like an actual teammate would. It joins the conversation when you push code, leaves inline comments on specific lines, highlights bugs, suggests improvements, and summarizes the full set of changes.

It works across GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket, and supports 20+ languages out of the box. The suggestions are fast, contextual, and often more useful than the first round of human review.

I have used it on personal projects and in production code. It catches things I would have missed. It reduces noise in team reviews. And it helps me ship cleaner pull requests without relying on back and forth.

Until now, though, it was a one-way interaction. The agent left a comment. You could apply the fix or ignore it. But you could not ask why. Now you can.

What the new chat feature actually does

Up until now, Bito would leave its comments, and that was it. You could read them, apply the fix, ignore them (and provide feedback on them). But you couldn’t ask questions. You couldn’t push back. You couldn’t say, “wait, why are you flagging this?” or “what is the significance of this suggestion?”

That’s what this update changes.

You can now reply to any of Bito’s suggestions right inside the pull request. Just ask your question where the issue was flagged, and Bito replies. It gives you context, explains the suggestion, and tells you how serious it is.

You can also ask it to break down the fix line by line, or suggest an alternative. And it responds in your language. English, Hindi, Spanish, Chinese, and twenty others.

It sounds small, but this actually makes the review feel like a two-way conversation. And that’s a big deal if you’re reviewing your own pull requests or working in a team that wants fast feedback without losing context.

It also changes how junior developers interact with feedback. Instead of tagging a senior to explain every review comment, they can just ask. In real time. Inside the pull request. For orgs that want to grow faster without dragging down review velocity, this is a real unlock.

Let me give you a walkthrough:

Using the new chat feature on a real pull request

I have a project I keep working on and off. This time, I was working on updating a component that renders charts using Chart.js. Inside app.js, I declared a variable to hold the chart instance:

let expenseChart = null;

After pushing the branch and opening a pull request, I triggered Bito’s review with the usual /review command.

One of the comments it left was on this line. It flagged it as a duplicate declaration. The same variable had been defined earlier in the file. Now functionally, everything worked. The charts loaded, the logic ran fine, and nothing broke.

Bito AI code review example

Normally, I would have ignored that kind of suggestion. But now that I’d the ability, I asked Bito directly:

Why is this suggestion important?

It answered in a few seconds. Explained how duplicate declarations can affect scope, how they might introduce subtle bugs in larger codebases, and why it’s better to clean them up even if they’re not immediately breaking things.

I followed up:

Can I let it be?

It replied again. Said the code would still run, but fixing the issue would avoid future confusion and improve clarity.

That was enough for me. No second guessing. No jumping between tabs. No wondering whether the suggestion was legit. Just a straight answer, right where the conversation was already happening.

Another example:

In another PR, I was generating IDs like this:

id: expenses.length > 0 ? expenses[expenses.length - 1].id + 1 : 1,
Code review agent chat

Bito flagged it. Said it could cause duplicate IDs if expenses were ever deleted. I asked:

Why is this suggestion important?

It replied: “Because array-based ID generation can break when items are removed. Using a timestamp or UUID avoids that risk.” So I followed up:

Is there any alternative?

Bito suggested:

Quick, simple, and with enough context for me to make the change. I didn’t replace it though. I’m lazy.

But, wait. That’s not it. Bito just announced a new feature:

Now Bito speaks your language too

Bito’s AI Code Review Agent now speaks the language you prefer. Literally. You can set your preferred language in Bito Cloud, and every review comment, suggestion, and even chat reply will show up in that language.

No more defaulting to English if that is not how your team communicates. Whether it’s Hindi, Spanish, Chinese, or any of the 20+ supported languages, Bito will adapt to your workflow.

It takes less than a minute:

1. Go to your agent’s instance in Bito Cloud

2. Click Edit next to your agent’s instance name

    3. Select your desired language from the Review language dropdown

      From that point on, every pull request review speaks your language. Whether you are reviewing issues, fixes, or just asking follow-up questions in chat.

      For global teams or developers who prefer working in their native language, this removes yet another layer of friction from code reviews.

      Ship code faster without waiting on reviews

      You have seen how Bito handles reviews, answers questions, and now even speaks your language. It saves time, removes the back and forth, and helps you focus on shipping.

      If you want to see how this works in your workflow, don’t take my word for it: Get a demo or sign up for a 14-day free trial and see for yourself.
