Enhance your development workflow and boost collaboration with Graphite’s code review automation tools, designed to improve code quality effortlessly.

Why Code Review Automation Matters

If you’ve ever waited days for feedback on a pull request, you know how painful slow reviews can be. Code review automation speeds things up. It keeps your team aligned. It catches issues before they become bugs. And it frees your developers to focus on what they do best—building features.

The good news? You don’t have to sacrifice quality for speed.

Key Challenges in Manual Code Reviews

Manual reviews often slow down delivery. Here’s why:

Reviews pile up.
Feedback can be unclear.
CI failures lead to back-and-forth emails.
Context switches kill focus.
High-volume teams struggle to stay on schedule.

As your codebase grows, these pain points only multiply. That’s where code review automation comes in.

How Graphite Elevates Code Review Automation

Graphite blends AI with seamless GitHub integration. You get:

Instant, AI-powered suggestions.
Summaries of CI failures.
Stacked pull requests (PRs).
Real-time chat in the review context.
Deep metrics to track team velocity.

Let’s dive into each.

AI-Powered Code Suggestions

Graphite’s AI reads your code changes in seconds. Then it offers:

Fix suggestions for common bugs.
Best-practice tips on code style.
Highlighted areas for security checks.

I recently saw a team cut review time by half. Why? They trusted Graphite’s AI to spot small issues before the human reviewer ever looked.

Failure-to-Fix Summaries

CI failures are a productivity killer. Graphite collates all your test errors into one concise summary:

“Your tests failed here. Here’s one way to fix it.”

No more scrolling through logs. You get clear guidance, so you can move on quickly.

Stacked PRs for Smooth Merges

Large features often span multiple PRs. Graphite’s Stacked PRs feature lets you:

Create dependent PR stacks.
Merge in sequence without conflicts.
Keep history clean.

Think of it as building blocks. Each PR sits neatly on top of the last. When you merge, everything flows smoothly.

Graphite Chat: Real-Time Feedback

Discussion threads are great—until they aren’t. Notifications pile up and context gets lost. Graphite Chat lives right in the PR page. You can:

Tag teammates instantly.
Drop inline comments.
Share code snippets.

All without switching apps. Quick chats mean faster decisions.

Dev Metrics Insights: Track Your Velocity

How do you measure progress? Graphite’s Dev Metrics Insights gives you hard numbers:

Average review time.
Number of AI suggestions accepted.
CI failure trends.
Team throughput.

Use these metrics to pinpoint bottlenecks. Then tackle them head-on. Velocity metrics drive growth—and Graphite makes them easy to access.
