I met the Korbit founder and team at AI Dev World last year - smart, thoughtful group. The founder was deeply enthusiastic about their approach to PR analysis. They had a very academic, research-driven team behind the product, which showed in how rigorously they were approaching the problem.
It was exciting work, and a good reminder of how much serious experimentation has been happening in AI code review over the past couple of years, even among teams that didn’t ultimately make it.
Yeah, with so much investment from the giants in this space, it's tough for startups to carve out a niche. Having said that, CodeRabbit has remained a strong contender against the platforms throughout 2025.
