About This Workflow
Revolutionize your code review process with this automated AI-powered workflow for GitLab Merge Requests. Designed for efficiency, this solution listens for new or updated MRs, fetches the latest code changes, and leverages a powerful AI model (OpenAI) to analyze the git diff. It then meticulously crafts and posts insightful, line-specific comments directly within your GitLab discussions. This not only accelerates feedback cycles but also helps maintain code quality and consistency without requiring manual intervention for every review, allowing your team to focus on critical development tasks.
