Show HN: Kodus – An open source AI code review engine (AST and LLW, less noise)
Hey HN,
LLMs alone aren't great at reviewing code—they produce noisy, irrelevant, or even incorrect comments far too often.
We open-sourced Kodus, our AI-powered code review platform built specifically to address this problem. Instead of relying purely on GPT models, we use a deterministic, AST-based rule engine to provide precise, structured context directly to the LLM. The result is a dramatically reduced noise rate, fewer hallucinations, and comments you can actually trust (and merge).
A quick rundown:
- Hybrid approach (AST + GPT): Precise, deterministic context feeding into the LLM reduces false positives and irrelevant suggestions.
- Self-hostable & Open Source: Run on your own infra/cloud—no code leakage, no data privacy concerns.
- Customizable rule engine: Easily define and share context-specific review rules across your team and community.
We'd love your feedback, suggestions, or criticisms—especially if you've experienced frustration with purely GPT-based review tools.
