BuiltRight is an AI-powered website builder for businesses that provide home services. BuiltRight uses AI to deliver fully SEO optimized websites and automated social media posts for their customers within minutes with minimal effort from the end-user. They leverage AI heavily in their own product and have been looking at other AI tools to optimize their internal software development process.

BuiltRight has a small developer team of less than 5 individuals, utilizing AI to assist their engineers is a key part of their software development strategy allowing them to operate at a high quality with a lean and nimble team.

Business Challenges

Manual code reviews can be error prone and cumbersome, especially when you are operating in a small sized team. Operating in a fast-paced environment with new feature requests coming in quickly and the entire software development cycle being managed by less than 5 engineers, BuiltRight had to figure out how they can augment their manual code reviews with a level of automation that can free up their developers time to focus on building new features and delivering value for their customers, instead of spending that time on manual code reviews.

Looking for an AI Code Review Solution

BuiltRight came across CodeRabbit through their listing on ProductHunt when they were searching for new AI tools to aid software development. They were excited by the prospect of using AI to automate the first pass of the code review cycle and reducing the number of human hours spent in the code review process.

They applied for the CodeRabbit startup program and were able to quickly get started with AI code reviews in less than 10 mins! CodeRabbit delivered on the promise of reducing bugs in production while automating the code review process with the first Github pull request that it was asked to review. Quick to set up, delivering immediate value, freeing up developer time - that’s the power of AI code reviews.

CodeRabbit Benefits

BuiltRight implemented CodeRabbit to aid their small but mighty software development team in releasing software features faster with higher quality code. They integrated CodeRabbit’s SaaS app with their GitHub organization and CodeRabbit enabled their team to:

• Automate first round of code review: The power of AI allows BuiltRight to automate the first round of the code review process without a human engineer in the loop, freeing up crucial developer time to only focus on more complicated steps in the software development cycle.

• 25% time savings vs manual reviews: AI code reviews helped BuiltRight save about 25% of the total time that their developers were spending on manual code reviews, freeing up crucial developer bandwidth from the code review cycles.

• Reduced bugs & better code quality: CodeRabbit captured many different types of errors, bugs, type safety issues and copy mistakes during the code review process that could have easily been missed during manual reviews. CodeRabbit also provides contextual code-refactoring suggestions to simplify and improve the overall code quality.

• 1-click fixes: BuiltRight’s engineers leverage CodeRabbit’s integration with Linear and directly commit suggestions and feedback from CodeRabbit with just 1-click directly from the PR where the AI code reviews were processed.

  "We found CodeRabbit through Product Hunt and gave it a try. It was super quick and easy to get started - took us less than 10 minutes. We are looking forward to using the Learnings feature more to further improve our AI code reviews" - William Wallace, CEO of BuiltRight

Next Steps:

BuiltRight is excited to explore the automated as well as user-reinforced Learnings in CodeRabbit. These Learnings are essentially the AI understanding the context behind the changes in various PRs and creating a series of learnings that are unique to each customer so that it can incorporate those in the next code review cycle.

BuiltRight continues to use CodeRabbit and is looking forward to expanding the use of CodeRabbit to additional team members in the future.
