Gitar is joining @SonarSource today ๐๐
We built the AI code review solution enterprises needed: one that doesn't just find issues, but fixes them. Now it's part of SonarQube, the platform they rely on to ensure the quality, security, and architectural integrity of everything they ship. Read the announcement: https://t.co/dQGr4FaFU3

New Gitar pricing is live - https://t.co/QlgH3kEOAC
Core: $20/user/mo
Pro: $40/user/mo
Unlimited PRs on both. Unlimited repos on both. Here's what you get:
Not every AI output should reach the user.
A guardrail layer sits between what your agent wants to say and what it actually posts. It reads context, makes a call, and sometimes the right answer is silence.
We wrote about how we built ours what it takes to get it right.
We switched to a 5x cheaper LLM. Our costs went up.
Cost per outcome beats cost per token. A model that finishes in one pass at $3/MTok is cheaper than one that loops at $0.60.
Two amazing engineers I worked with, @kageiit and @aadltaba, built Gitar (@gitarcode): a free AI code review tool.
It doesn't just review, but also resolves issues that it finds.

Small things that matter:
โ Faster initial code reviews
โ We remember your feedback (won't re-report dismissed issues)
โ Real-time progress updates while we work

Most AI code review tools are just comment generators, not reviewers.
And the fastest way to kill trust in AI reviews is simple: comment spam.
More comments โ better review.
It usually means noisier PRs, longer cycles, and engineers tuning everything out.
We have been quiet for a while cooking up something fresh! More regular product updates and more from now :)
