In this video we talk about Anthropic’s Claude Code Review research preview, a multi-agent system that dispatches a team of agents on every pull request, and the real cost tradeoff of token-based reviews averaging $15 to $25 depending on PR size and complexity. We break down how it plugs into GitHub or GitLab via a simple “/code review” flow, what you actually get back (PR comments on the final code), and why this feels aimed at team and enterprise instead of indie devs. We also compare the vibe to alternatives mentioned like Code Rabbit (about $20/month with seemingly unlimited reviews), Augment, and Grapile, and talk about where tools like this fit into bigger workflow bottlenecks highlighted by backgroundagents.com.

Anthropic introduced Claude code review, a multi- aent system that dispatches a team of agents for every pull request to catch bugs that human miss. Command AI. So, it's in a research preview for team and enterprise. And it's an interesting one because we've got a bunch of code review tools. We've got code rabbit, you've got reptile, you've got augment. I did a review on these. Uh someone else released something recently as well, which is a good alternative. Um either way, this is a code review that will just fling into every pull request and just give it a review. Now, it's quite expensive. Reviews are build on token uses and generally average $15 to $25 scaling with PR size and complexity. So, I mean, obviously, this is not aimed at you or me. Um, I would definitely point you in the direction of Code Rabbit. $20 a month and it's seemingly unlimited reviews, but um the fact that it's in beta review for team and enterprise again makes me think that this is something um you know for those types of people. Yeah. What is the difference between this? So code review essentially you would do slash code review and it reviews PRs. So it's bound to you'd link it to your GitHub or your GitLab or whatever. So it's bound to PRs and it will come in and just leave review comments on what the final code is, you know. So what is the difference between that not just in terms of functionality but in terms of you know the results that you would get at the end between that and just you know prompting your AI saying like how good is my code? Good question. So I think the biggest difference is this agent team aspect. there's going to be a flood of different agents that are communicating with each other um that assess the code in a fresh set of context um and and that that's kind of it really. I would assume that there's a level of different instructions. So one is going to be focused on security. It's just a more meticulous um process. I haven't used it. I don't know what the difference would be to you setting off an agent teams, which is a new feature. I've yet to do a video on it, but Claude Code has agent teams as a feature. Maybe there's some just real um very well put together um agent instructions, maybe. I don't know. So, yeah, it's arguable, but uh I did do a video uh and I didn't know at the time actually, but I did a video on this thing called background agents.com and this is when you were off partying for your birthday and it talks about various bottlenecks in the development life cycle, which believe me, there is nice website. Yeah, it is a cool website. It is cool. So nice. So, and it's by my friend Lou. So, shout out Lou. Um, who he hasn't written, you know, he he's collected the content and he's pulled it together in identifying bottlenecks in the software delivery life cycle and how we can alleviate those by putting agents, proactive agents, automatic agents in those bottlenecked areas. So, where where can we relieve the bottleneck of code? where can we relieve the bottleneck of review test and all this little lot. So he's actively developing it. It's a really clean nice website. Uh really enjoyable to look look at um which we're trying we we want to do something about it but it's um yeah it's more it's not for the indie developer. It's more for like software teams. Uh why am I saying this? I think this code view is uh an important bottleneck to to relieve that you can automate and the more sophisticated the solution be I think the more um how do you say uh uh important it is to your workflow and also how worth it it is for each code review being 15 10 to 15 bucks or however much they said but yeah go check out background agents.com for the indie developer I think we'd be more interested in code rabbit grapile Augment and I've got a video on that on my channel if you wanted to look at a review of it. This is part of a larger conversation on my show Command AI which we stream live every single week. We discuss the news and all things related to AI in the world of design and web. Catch us next week and join in the banter. Command AI.
