How it works
When you open a pull request, Autter:Scans the diff
Autter reads the full diff and evaluates every change in the context of your existing codebase — not just the lines changed.
Identifies issues
Autter flags bugs, logic errors, convention violations, security risks, and performance anti-patterns with a confidence level for each finding.
Leaves inline comments
Each finding becomes an inline PR comment that includes what was detected, why it matters, and how to fix it — with a code suggestion you can apply in one click.
Example: catching a logic bug
Here’s what an Autter inline comment looks like in practice. The diff introduces a bug in duration calculation:Autter — just now The calculation ofThis is the kind of bug that compiles, passes type checking, and only surfaces at runtime — often in production.durationMsis incorrect. It’s currently calculating the duration from the current time to the start time, which will result in a negative duration. To fix this, swap the order of the arguments in thediff()method:DateTime.now().diff(startTime)
Inline comment structure
Every Autter comment includes four parts, drawn from the use-case source:- What was detected — a clear description of the issue
- Why it matters — the specific risk or convention being violated
- How to fix it — a concrete suggestion, often with a code snippet
- Confidence level — how certain Autter is that this is a genuine issue

Instant feedback
Autter automatically scans opened PRs for bugs, logical errors, and other technical pitfalls so reviewers can focus on the big picture.
Codebase awareness
Every piece of feedback makes sense in the context of your codebase — not generic suggestions from a template.
Custom rules
Define and enforce custom patterns with AI prompts and regex. Your standards, consistently applied across every review.
Full feature set
AI-powered chat
Ask questions about your codebase, get explanations for complex logic, and receive suggestions inline.
Deep context
Every suggestion is grounded in your codebase’s architecture, patterns, and conventions.
Configurable rules
Define custom patterns and rules that the AI enforces across all reviews automatically.
Security scanning
Catch vulnerabilities, injection risks, and insecure patterns before they reach production.
Lightning fast
Get feedback in seconds, not minutes. Autter is optimized for speed without sacrificing quality.
AI-suggested fixes
Not just problems — Autter suggests concrete fixes you can apply with one click.
Use the thumbs up / thumbs down buttons on any Autter comment to improve review quality. Your feedback trains Autter to surface more of what your team cares about and less of what it doesn’t.
