The Original Open-Source PR Reviewer

---

This repository contains the open-source PR Agent Project. It is not the Qodo free tier.

PR-Agent is an open-source, AI-powered code review agent and a community-maintained legacy project of Qodo. It is distinct from Qodo’s primary AI code review offering, which provides a feature-rich, context-aware experience. Qodo now offers a free tier that integrates seamlessly with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps for high-quality automated reviews.

Sponsors

PR-Agent is a community-maintained open-source project, with its ongoing development supported by our sponsors. If you'd like to support the project, consider becoming a sponsor.

Getting Started

[!NOTE] Docker Hub namespace migration. Releases 0.34.2 and later are published under pragent/pr-agent. Older releases (up to and including v0.31) remain available at the legacy codiumai/pr-agent namespace as a frozen archive — no new images are pushed there. Update any pinned image: / docker pull / uses: docker:// references when upgrading to 0.34.2+.

Big News for PR-Agent

PR-Agent has a new home!

After years of building this tool alongside the community, Qodo has donated PR-Agent to the open-source community - and we couldn't be more excited about what comes next.

The project now lives in the PR-Agent org on GitHub, is fully community-owned, and is open for contributions and additional maintainers.

What else changed: - Docs moved to - www.pr-agent.ai - Qodo Merge (Qodo 1.0), the hosted URL, which was the enterprise version of PR-Agent, has been rebranded and evolved into Qodo (Qodo 2.0), a full AI code review platform.

❤️ Community

This open-source release remains here as a community contribution from Qodo — the origin of modern AI-powered code collaboration. We’re proud to share it and inspire developers worldwide.

The project now has its first external maintainer, Naor (@naorpeled), and is currently in the process of being donated to an open-source foundation.
