Bubo 🦉

This wise owl is Bubo, an agentic AI code reviewer that reviews your GitLab MRs and GitHub PRs with the LLM model of your choice, and posts only the findings worth acting on as inline threads — no chatbot noise, no praise, no summaries.

• Signal over noise — evidence-backed inline findings, confidence gates, optional verification, and deduplication.
• Your model, your infrastructure — OpenAI, Anthropic, or another CLI-backed reviewer with your own deployment.
• Feedback-driven reviews — recorded outcomes help tune thresholds and suppress recurring unwanted findings.
• Review evidence, in one place — local dashboards and reports for findings, usage, policy decisions, and outcomes.
• Compliance - cosign-signed releases with SBOMs, auditable on-prem report
• Metrics and RoI — Read about real world metrics and ROI

Run continuous reviews through polling, or trigger reviews through MCP. The experimental GitHub Action.
