I’m looking for an open-source tool that can automate code reviews on GitHub pull requests using AI. My must-haves:
Free and open-source
Lets me use my own API key for different models
Ideally works with DeepSeek models
I built a custom GitHub Action using GPT-4 for reviews, and while it worked well, the token costs were ridiculous, especially for big repos. With DeepSeek’s cheaper pricing, I want to give this another shot.
Has anyone come across a tool that fits these requirements? I did some searching but haven’t found anything solid yet.
Isn’t it usually the other way around? AI writes code, and humans review it. Why flip that? So devs do all the work, and AI just reviews? AI isn’t better than a real developer.

Or maybe AI writes and AI reviews?
For solo projects, I write all the code myself, but I still use pull requests because they help me catch mistakes. AI code review would just be an extra set of ‘eyes’ to spot issues early. I’d still manually review everything myself, but having AI as a backup doesn’t hurt.

If AI can write code, it can review it too. It doesn’t have to be better than a human—just another tool to catch things you might miss.
Has anyone used Qodo for code reviews? I haven’t tried it, but it looks interesting. I think it supports multiple AI models, but I’m not sure if DeepSeek is one of them.
