Ellipsis

Ellipsis is an AI code reviewer that catches bugs and enforces style on every pull request, and can automatically fix what it finds.

Overview

Ellipsis plugs into GitHub and GitLab and reviews every pull request like a diligent senior engineer: it flags bugs, security issues and style violations, explains why they matter, and can push fixes directly to the branch. What sets it apart is that teams can define their own review rules in plain English — company coding standards become enforceable checks rather than wiki pages nobody reads.

Ellipsis also handles developer chores such as answering questions on pull requests, generating changelogs and writing summaries for reviewers. Because it learns from the team’s conventions over time, false positives drop as it observes how maintainers respond to its comments.

Teams configure Ellipsis by writing review rules in plain English — things like ‘all database queries must use parameterized statements’ or ‘API responses must follow our error format’ — and the reviewer enforces them consistently on every pull request. It also handles the social layer of review: answering questions from PR authors, summarizing long threads and drafting changelog entries from merged work. Organizations report that automated style enforcement removes a whole category of review comments, letting humans focus on architecture and logic.
