    I’ve used this specific bot. I work with a lot of junior engineers so I was hoping it would be able to catch a lot of the basics for me so we could ultimately reduce the back and forth in code reviews.

    It just doesn’t get enough context from the rest of the repo to be super useful. It would often do this kind of thing where it would just speed garbage. I guess you could get it to be better by configuring it with a good pre prompt, but I don’t know if that would be worth the effort.

      Yeah, it has its nice moments, but I also see it make mistakes and a lot of uselessly verbose text. It’s sometimes useful, sometimes funny, but mostly just noisy. Could be genuinely useful if it keeps improving though.
