Overview

CodeAnt AI’s chat feature lets you have real-time conversations directly within your pull requests. Ask questions, challenge review suggestions, request deeper analysis, or get clarification — all without leaving your PR.

How It Works

Ask a Question on the PR

Tag CodeAnt AI in any PR comment to ask a question about the overall changes:
@codeant-ai ask: Your question here
You’ll receive a contextually accurate answer within seconds, grounded in the actual code changes in the PR.

Ask Inline Questions

Reply to a specific line or code block to ask targeted questions:
@codeant-ai: Why was this timeout value chosen?
CodeAnt AI analyzes the surrounding code context and the full diff to provide a relevant answer.

Respond to Review Comments

When CodeAnt AI posts a review comment, you can reply directly to it:
  • Ask for more details: @codeant-ai: Can you explain the impact of this change?
  • Challenge a suggestion: @codeant-ai: Do not suggest this as I am fine with the current behavior
  • Request alternatives: @codeant-ai: Are there other ways to fix this?
A developer told CodeAnt AI to stop flagging type error and value error issues for a repository. CodeAnt AI saved this as a customized review instruction and applied it to all matching files.Dismissing a suggestion
After reviewing the quality gate results, a developer asked:
@codeant-ai: Are we using the LLM properly to filter out false positives?
CodeAnt AI responds with an analysis of the current false positive filtering logic, referencing the specific code paths involved.
