Qodo works directly inside your Git provider and integrates into your existing pull request workflow. You can start using it immediately with default behavior, and customize it later as needed.

​
What can you configure

Qodo works out of the box with sensible defaults, but its behavior can be customized to match your team’s standards and workflows. Configuration controls things like:
  • When reviews run (manual or automatic)
  • Where feedback appears (summary, inline, or both)
  • How strict or verbose reviews should be
  • What content should be ignored
For a full breakdown of configuration options, file locations, and precedence, see the Configuration fundamentals guide.

​
Run a code review

Qodo can review pull requests in two ways: manually or automatically. Both approaches produce the same review experience and findings. The difference is when and how the review is triggered.
While a review runs, Qodo posts a temporary “review in progress” comment so you know Qodo is processing the request. The comment is removed once the review is posted. If the run fails or is superseded by a newer run, the comment is updated to reflect the change. Admins can disable this with the In-progress comment setting.

​
Run a review manually

You can request a review directly from the pull request by adding a comment: 
/agentic_review
When you post the comment:
  • Qodo acknowledges the request with a 👀 reaction
  • The review is generated and posted directly in the pull request
  • Feedback appears based on your configuration (summary, inline, or both)
Manual reviews are useful when:
  • You want to review on demand
  • You’re testing configuration changes
  • You don’t want reviews to run on every pull request update

​
Run reviews automatically

Qodo can also run reviews automatically when pull requests are opened or updated. Automatic reviews are configured via pr_agent.toml and allow Qodo to:
  • Run reviews when a pull request is opened, reopened, or marked ready for review
  • Update existing review comments when new commits are pushed
  • Keep review feedback in sync with the latest code changes
Automatic reviews are ideal for teams that want:
  • Consistent review coverage
  • Less manual intervention
  • Faster feedback loops
Automatic behavior is fully configurable. See the Configuration fundamentals for details.
