Improvements and New Features

⚡️ Kody got faster!

Coffee break over already? 😢 Reviews are now much faster! In our internal tests, we’ve reduced review time by up to 80%.

🧠 Kody Learnings – Now Kody learns from you!

Every feedback counts! Whenever your team positively rates, negatively rates, or implements a Kody suggestion, we save an embedding of that suggestion. Once you reach 50 feedbacks, the magic begins: new suggestions are semantically compared to previous ones.

• 👍 Suggestions similar to positively rated ones are sent automatically.
• 👎 Suggestions similar to negatively rated ones are immediately discarded.

🤖 Auto Kody Rules Based on your Reviews

We’ve added a “Generate Kody Rules Automatically” button within Kody Rules. Kody now automatically creates rules by analyzing your team’s past reviews and updating them weekly based on your feedback.

🌳 More context for the LLM – Breaking Changes (Beta)

We’re gradually rolling out a powerful new feature based on AST that significantly increases the context Kody analyzes during reviews. It detects whether your changes impact other parts of the codebase!

This super feature is now available in a new review category called Breaking Changes, focused exclusively on TypeScript code. Over the next few weeks, we will expand to other languages and cover additional use cases like:

• Potentially duplicated functions
• Enhanced typing suggestions

🐞 Bug fixes

• Fixed the broken review formatting from the last version. 👀
• Adjusted some issues applying Kody Rules.

Keep sending feedback and help Kody keep evolving! 💙

Improvements and New Features

Streamlined Configuration Flow

• All settings are now in one place, making it easier than ever to manage and tweak your setup.
• Control who can view or edit these configurations right within your workspace.

Severity Badges in Code Reviews

• See severity levels for each suggestion directly in Git, so you can instantly spot what needs urgent attention.

Bug Fixes

• Improved integration flow during initial setup.
• Fixed data handling for Pull Requests and Commits to boost reliability.

Improvements and New Features

Cockpit V2

Cockpit V2 is here to streamline your view of all the metrics that help you understand your team’s performance and quality. Built on key DORA metrics, you can now track your team’s velocity, throughput, bug ratio, and PR size on a month-to-month basis. Plus, the new Code Health tab lets you quickly review the top categories of Kody’s suggestions over a selected period.

👀 Note: The cockpit is still in beta and may experience some instability.

Repository Config UX Improvements

Improvements and New Features

kodus-config.yml Support

You can now configure Kody directly through the kodus-config.yml file in your repository. This keeps your code review preferences versioned with your code while still allowing web-based configurations when needed.

• Global and per-repo rules remain in effect.
• Easily export web configs to the YAML file.
• The pipeline is built to handle new configurations without breaking anything.

By default, the file overrides web settings if detected, but you can revert this anytime.

Bitbucket Integration 💙

Kodus now supports Bitbucket, bringing automated code reviews to your repositories on the platform.

New Features and Enhancements

Kody Rules Library

Introducing a curated library of Kody Rules! We’ve compiled best practices from leading teams to help you ensure quality, security, and performance in your codebase.

Now you can browse, pick, and apply these ready-to-use rules to streamline your team’s code reviews.

Automatic Pull Request Merging

Kody now offers the ability to automatically merge branches when no issues are detected during a review. If Kody has no suggestions, your pull request will be merged automatically—saving you time and effort.

Improvements and Fixes

Minor fixes and optimizations in Kody Rules and the review process to enhance performance and usability.

New Features and Enhancements

Grouped Comments

Less clutter, more efficiency! Kody now groups similar comments within the same PR. If the same issue appears in multiple places, instead of flooding your review with repetitive notifications, Kody consolidates them into a single, well-organized comment. More focus, less noise.

Expanded Language Support

Kody now understands 17 new languages! Whether it’s Japanese, French, Arabic, Chinese, Italian, or any of the other newly supported languages, your team can now benefit from more precise and contextual code reviews.

Categorized Suggestions

Each suggestion now comes with a category label! Performance, security, readability, and more – making it easier to filter suggestions and fine-tune Kody’s rules to match your team’s real needs.

Bug Fixes

• Better organization: Comments are now grouped by file, making navigation more intuitive.
• Faster analysis: Kody now automatically ignores irrelevant files for review, improving processing time.
• Reduced waiting time: Implemented prompt caching to further speed up the process.
