This post introduces Rovo Dev Code Reviewer, an AI-driven agent integrated into Bitbucket to automate parts of the code review process. It uses a zero-shot structured prompting approach with LLMs (Claude 3.5 Sonnet) and a multi-stage quality check (LLM-as-a-Judge for factual correctness, ModernBERT for actionability) to provide feedback on pull requests. The system augments human reviewers, aiming to reduce PR cycle time and human-written comments. Internal evaluations show a 30.8% reduction in PR cycle time and a 35.6% decrease in human-written comments, with a 38.70% code resolution rate for AI-generated comments.
