Alpha: Sonar Review - The AI Code Review Bot Built for Sonar Users!

Hey Sonar Community,

We’re incredibly excited to announce the private alpha launch of Sonar Review, our new AI-powered code review companion!

Over the last few months, we’ve been listening to your feedback and doing deep competitive research. The clear message is this: code review is a critical bottleneck, and while you appreciate automated help, it often feels like too much noise. You’re trying to eliminate vendor sprawl and want a unified, trustworthy solution that scales.

That’s why we built Sonar Review. It merges the trusted precision of Sonar’s static analysis—the foundation you already rely on with advanced, context-aware AI.

The result is an intelligent filter and facilitator that cuts the noise so your team can focus on what matters:

  • Speed and Focus: Get to ‘Approve’ faster by filtering out low-value suggestions and focusing only on critical, consequential issues.

  • Trusted AI: AI insights are built on Sonar’s deterministic static analysis for reliable bug and vulnerability detection, rather than probabilistic pattern matching alone.

  • Seamless Workflow: Review and remediate directly within your DevOps platform (GitHub for now, GitLab and Azure DevOps coming soon) with options for one-click fixes.

  • Consistent Quality: Enforce your organization’s Quality Profiles and quality standards with ease.

This tool is designed for the Code Owner (to run a noise-free health check before formal review) and the Code Reviewer (to get context-aware summaries and a prioritized guide to risky areas). We need your help to define the future of this product!

This is a true alpha, and your feedback is crucial. We’re inviting you to be one of the first to try it and help us fine-tune the user-agent experience, the tone of the comments, and the overall workflow.
