Frequently Asked Questions
Which AI model should I use for code review?
We recommend Claude (Anthropic) for most teams. It provides the deepest code understanding and most nuanced feedback. Use Gemini for large PRs or when speed is critical. Use GPT if you're already in the OpenAI ecosystem.
Can I use multiple AI models?
Yes! Git AutoReview supports Dual-Model mode. Run two models on the same PR and compare their suggestions side-by-side. Great for critical reviews or when you want a second opinion.
Do I need API keys for all models?
No. You only need an API key for at least one model. You can add more later. Each model requires its own API key from the respective provider.
How much do the AI models cost?
Costs vary by model and usage. Claude: ~$3-15/million tokens. Gemini: ~$0.50-7/million tokens. GPT-4: ~$10-30/million tokens. A typical PR review uses 10-50K tokens. With BYOK, you pay the provider directly.
