AI code review is not a replacement for human review. But it is excellent at catching things humans miss: typos in error messages, inconsistent naming, missing edge cases in null handling.

My Workflow

  1. Push to a feature branch
  2. AI reviews the diff first — catches low-hanging fruit
  3. Fix what's valid, dismiss what's noise
  4. Human reviewer focuses on architecture and intent

The key insight: AI is a first pass, not the final word. Treat it like a very thorough linter, not a senior engineer.
