Why teams choose Kodus
You'll hate us if...

The basics, done right
Learns from your context

Kodus has become an essential part of our process at Lerian. By standardizing steps and automating checks, we’ve gained more speed and consistency, while reducing rework and improving delivery quality.
Pedro Maia
@Notificações Inteligentes
We trained the team to use AI in day-to-day coding, and Kodus stepped in as our senior reviewer that never forgets anything. It doesn’t replace human review, but it’s now a required step: it ensures consistency and prevents repeat incidents.

@SaaSJet
We love what Kodus does. It has dramatically reduced our PR review time, and our developers no longer want to review a PR without Kodus running first. The accuracy is very good: it catches many of the small issues that are easy to miss, allowing our developers to focus on the architectural decisions that truly require human judgment.

@Ikatec
Since we started using Kody, the dev experience has improved a lot. Time spent on code reviews dropped by around 30%, and the AI brings valuable insights on performance, security, and code optimization. One of the best parts is that we can tailor how it works for each project.

Kodus has been helping us save a lot of time on code reviews, while also providing key engineering productivity metrics. Since we started using the tool, our average review time has dropped from hours to minutes.

Kodus has had a huge impact on our workflow by saving us valuable time during PR reviews. It consistently catches the small details that are easy to miss, and the ability to set up custom rules means we can align automated reviews with our own standards.

@Doji
These days, Kodus is part of our daily review routine. It helps a lot with error handling and brings up suggestions that would often go unnoticed. This active listening and fast turnaround have made a real difference for our engineering team.

Kodus helped me move as fast as I ever could during my development days. It has never been so easy to ship reliable code and build real solutions.

@Brendi
Kodus fit like a glove for me. Before, I was buried in slow code reviews. Now, feedback happens way faster, and I can actually focus on other things.
David Barnett
@QuintoAndar
Kodus helps us reflect our standards in PRs to share knowledge and raise our code quality. Kody catches some subtle issues and calls attention to them so reviews and authors can have a more effective review. I appreciate the flexibility to configure custom rules and integrations.

SYNOPSIS
kodus --help [topic]
Kodus is model agnostic. You can use Claude, GPT, Gemini, Llama or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, including self-hosted models.
Yes, you have full control over the permissions you grant. Kodus operates with the minimum access required to keep your code secure.
No, you decide who is included in the Kodus team and will only be charged for those users. You have full control over team management and billing.
No, Kodus does not train its models with customer data. Your data is processed securely and is never used to improve or retrain our AI.
Both review pull requests with AI. Kodus is open source with an AGPL core, you can self-host it without an enterprise seat minimum, and bring-your-own-keys with zero token markup is the default on every plan.
GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps. Kodus integrates at the pull request level: it reads diffs, posts inline comments, and respects your existing review workflows. Setup takes under 5 minutes.
We don't add any margin on top of LLM API calls. You pay the model provider directly at their listed price. No hidden multipliers, no per-seat AI surcharges. Our revenue comes from the platform subscription, not from reselling tokens.
No, Kodus does not store your source code. All processing happens in real-time, and no part of your repository is saved on our servers.
Kodus uses your selected Git provider integration and only accesses what is required to review pull requests. You can control and revoke access at any time.
Private by default
Your source code is never stored and never used to train models. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and self-hosted runners keep your IP entirely inside your own infrastructure.
