RabbitAI — AI Code Reviewer

Open-source AI code reviewer that auto-reviews GitHub PRs with zero cost and full self-hosting.

What is RabbitAI?

RabbitAI is an open-source AI code reviewer. Drop one workflow file into any repo and it reviews every PR automatically catching bugs, security issues, and performance problems — and posts a structured comment directly on the PR.

Unlike other code reviewers, RabbitAI:

• Builds a knowledge graph of your codebase to detect blast radius of changes
• Uses mem0 persistent memory to get smarter with every PR it reviews
• Supports Gemini and OpenAI for both LLM and embeddings fully config-driven
• Supports ChromaDB, Pinecone, and Qdrant as vector stores
• Runs as a GitHub Action, MCP server inside Claude/Cursor, or local CLI
• Runs completely free using Gemini free tier + local ChromaDB

Demo

RabbitAI Code Review  ·  7/10

[BUG]
auth.ts line 23: user.id can be undefined if session expires before check

[SECURITY]
db.ts line 45: query is not parameterized SQL injection risk

[PERFORMANCE]
dashboard.tsx line 89: value recalculated on every render, consider useMemo

[GOOD]
Error boundaries correctly implemented throughout
TypeScript types well-defined across all components

Note: db.ts has 12 dependents this change is marked HIGH BLAST RADIUS

How It Works

PR opened
→ Fetch diff + metadata via GitHub API
→ Build NetworkX file dependency graph (blast radius detection)
→ Classify change type (bug fix / feature / refactor / security)
→ Chunk diff → embed → store in vector DB
→ Load repo memory from mem0 (past learnings)
→ Retrieve relevant chunks via semantic search
→ LLM reviews with full context + memory + graph insights
→ Post structured comment on PR
→ Save new learnings to mem0

Quick Start

Option 1 — GitHub Action (recommended)

Add .github/workflows/review.yml to your repo:

name: RabbitAI Code Review

on:
  pull_request:
    types: [opened, synchronize, reopened]

jobs:
  review:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    permissions:
      pull-requests: write
      contents: read

    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v4
        with:
          fetch-depth: 0

      - name: Set up Python
        uses: actions/setup-python@v5
        with:
          python-version: "3.11"

      - name: Install RabbitAI
        run: pip install rabbitai-reviewer

      - name: Run RabbitAI
        env:
          GEMINI_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.GEMINI_API_KEY }}
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          PINECONE_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.PINECONE_API_KEY }}
          OPENAI_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.OPENAI_API_KEY }}
          GITHUB_REPOSITORY: ${{ github.repository }}
          PR_NUMBER: ${{ github.event.pull_request.number }}
          VECTOR_STORE_PROVIDER: ${{ vars.VECTOR_STORE_PROVIDER }}
          EMBEDDING_PROVIDER: ${{ vars.EMBEDDING_PROVIDER }}
          EMBEDDING_MODEL: ${{ vars.EMBEDDING_MODEL }}
          LLM_PROVIDER: ${{ vars.LLM_PROVIDER }}
          LLM_MODEL: ${{ vars.LLM_MODEL }}
          REVIEW_LANGUAGE: ${{ vars.REVIEW_LANGUAGE }}
        run: |
          python -c "
          import os
          from rabbitai.agent import run
          result = run(os.environ['GITHUB_REPOSITORY'], int(os.environ['PR_NUMBER']))
          print(result.comment_url if result.posted else result.reason)
          "

Add GEMINI_API_KEY to your repo secrets get one free at aistudio.google.com.

GITHUB_TOKEN is injected automatically. Open a PR done.

Option 2 — Local CLI

git clone https://github.com/nikhilsaiankilla/rabbitai
cd rabbitai
pip install rabbitai-reviewer
cp config.example.yaml config.yaml
# fill in your config.yaml

# test.py
from rabbitai.agent import run

result = run(repo_name="your-username/your-repo", pr_number=1)
print(result)

python test.py
