Human-in-the-Loop
AI Code Review
Git AutoReview is the only AI code review tool that lets you approve every comment before publishing. Review AI suggestions from Claude, Gemini, and GPT — then publish only what you approve. Zero risk of embarrassing AI mistakes in your pull requests.
What is Human-in-the-Loop AI Code Review?
Human-in-the-loop (HITL) is an AI workflow where humans review and approve AI outputs before they take effect. In AI code review, this means every suggestion generated by AI models like Claude (Anthropic), Gemini (Google AI), or GPT (OpenAI) is reviewed by a software engineer before being published to a pull request.
Most AI code review tools — including CodeRabbit and Qodo — auto-post comments directly to your GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket pull requests. This means AI mistakes, false positives, and irrelevant suggestions appear in your PRs before any human sees them.
Git AutoReview is different. Every AI suggestion appears as a draft in VS Code. Code reviewers can edit, approve, or reject each suggestion. Only approved comments are published to your pull request. This human-in-the-loop approach gives development teams full control over their DevOps workflows.
Why Human Oversight Matters
AI models are powerful but imperfect. Without human approval, these mistakes appear directly in your pull requests.
Research shows AI code reviewers produce false positives at a 9:1 ratio without tuning. Simple variable renames get flagged as risky changes, causing alert fatigue and wasted hours weekly.
AI bots incorrectly comment on unchanged code outside the diff. They generate concerns about lines that weren't modified, confusing PR reviewers and cluttering discussions.
AI generates comments about 'bugs' that don't break execution or suggestions that change nothing. These hallucinated issues get posted directly to PRs without verification.
Without commit history awareness, AI tools repost the same irrelevant alerts across changes. Teams report hours weekly wasted triaging non-actionable feedback.
How Git AutoReview Solves This
Human-in-the-loop approval gives your team full control over AI code review.
Every AI suggestion is reviewed by a human before it reaches your pull request. No embarrassing auto-posted comments.
Software engineers and code reviewers decide what gets published. AI assists, humans control.
Reject low-quality suggestions, edit good ones, approve only the best. Your PR comments reflect your standards.
Review AI suggestions to learn new patterns and best practices. Improve your skills while reviewing code.
How Human-in-the-Loop Works
AI Analyzes Your Pull Request
Select a PR in Git AutoReview. Claude, Gemini, and GPT analyze your code changes, looking at the diff, related files, and Jira acceptance criteria.
Review Suggestions in VS Code
AI suggestions appear as drafts in the VS Code Marketplace extension. Software engineers see each suggestion with file, line number, and recommendation.
Approve, Edit, or Reject
Code reviewers decide what happens to each suggestion. Approve good ones, edit to improve clarity, reject irrelevant or incorrect suggestions.
Publish to Your Git Platform
Only approved comments are published to your GitHub, GitHub Enterprise, GitLab Self-managed, Bitbucket Cloud, Bitbucket Server, or Bitbucket Data Center pull request.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is human-in-the-loop AI code review?
Human-in-the-loop AI code review means that every AI-generated suggestion is reviewed and approved by a human before being published to your pull request. Unlike auto-posting tools like CodeRabbit and Qodo, Git AutoReview lets you see all AI suggestions first, edit them if needed, reject bad ones, and only publish the comments you approve. This eliminates the risk of embarrassing AI mistakes appearing in your PRs.
Why do I need human approval for AI code review?
AI models from Anthropic (Claude), Google AI (Gemini), and OpenAI (GPT) are powerful but not perfect. They can produce false positives, outdated suggestions, or comments that miss business context. Human approval ensures that only accurate, relevant, and professional comments appear in your pull requests. This is especially important for enterprise customers and development teams where code quality and professionalism matter.
How does Git AutoReview's approval workflow work?
When you run a code review in Git AutoReview, the AI analyzes your pull request and generates suggestions. These appear in a draft state within VS Code. You can then review each suggestion, edit the text, reject irrelevant ones, or approve good ones. Only approved comments are published to your GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket pull request. You maintain full control throughout the entire DevOps workflow.
Do CodeRabbit and Qodo have human approval?
No. CodeRabbit and Qodo automatically post AI comments directly to your pull requests without human review. While you can delete comments after they're posted, the damage is already done — your team and external collaborators have already seen potentially embarrassing or incorrect AI suggestions. Git AutoReview is the only AI code review tool with true human-in-the-loop approval.
Is human-in-the-loop slower than auto-posting?
The approval step adds about 30-60 seconds to your workflow, but this small investment prevents hours of cleanup from bad AI comments. Most software engineers find that reviewing AI suggestions actually speeds up their overall code review process because they can batch-approve good suggestions and quickly reject bad ones. The time saved from avoiding AI mistakes far outweighs the approval time.
Can I use human-in-the-loop with multiple AI models?
Yes! Git AutoReview supports multi-model AI with Claude (Anthropic), Gemini (Google AI), and GPT (OpenAI) running in parallel. You can compare suggestions from different models and approve the best ones. This is especially useful when models disagree — human judgment resolves conflicts and ensures the best suggestions make it to your pull request.
Which platforms support human-in-the-loop code review?
Git AutoReview's human-in-the-loop workflow works with GitHub (owned by Microsoft), GitHub Enterprise, GitLab, GitLab Self-managed, Bitbucket Cloud, Bitbucket Server, and Bitbucket Data Center (owned by Atlassian). The approval workflow is the same across all platforms — review in VS Code, publish to your Git platform.
Is human-in-the-loop good for enterprise teams?
Absolutely. Enterprise customers often have strict requirements about what appears in their code repositories. Human-in-the-loop ensures compliance with internal standards, prevents sensitive information leaks, and maintains professional communication in pull requests. Combined with BYOK (Bring Your Own Key), Jira integration, and Single sign-on (SSO), Git AutoReview is built for enterprise DevOps workflows.
How much does human-in-the-loop AI code review cost?
Git AutoReview offers human-in-the-loop on all plans, including the free tier. The Team plan costs $14.99/month for your entire development team — 50% cheaper than CodeRabbit ($24/user/month) and 60% cheaper than Qodo ($30/user/month).
