Why GitLab Teams Choose Git AutoReview for Merge Request Review
GitLab has 30+ million users and is the most popular self-managed Git solution. Yet most AI code review tools treat GitLab as an afterthought — focusing primarily on GitHub.
We built Git AutoReview with merge request support from day one. GitLab CloudIcon or Self-Managed — same features, same workflow.
PropelCode research shows AI code review cuts review time by 67%. MRs that took 2-5 days now merge same-day. For a 10-person team, that's roughly $52K/year saved.
