how is tjis better than (OpenCode|Pi|CC|Codex) that had a Reviewer agent? the whole idea of e.g. CodeRabbit is that it allows to review PRs autonomously. making it local defeats the purpose.

it doesnt help that these projects have AI generated README's. Not AI-assisted, or AI-curated, but fully generated. it's a bunch of sentences that say nothing. "the diff is whats reviewed". okay, what about per-commit reviews? does it keep context of that? just diffs isnt enough to review a PR, it just sounds efficient but youre leaving a lot of context out, so the reviewer will have trouble confidently reviewing your changes.

I just formatted and fixed it using ai. I didnot knew its looking fully ai generated. I will fix it. Till day after tommorow readme is going to be updated. And we are not competing with ai tools. I am aiming it to make it an standard for developer before making commit. Later its gonna have ai intergartion as well. THANKS BUDDY FOR THAT SUCH GOOD FEEDBACK!.
