AI Diff Review
AI Diff Review
Analyze your current changes or any past commit (from the VCS Log) with AI—right inside IntelliJ IDEA. Choose local-first providers like Ollama/LM Studio or cloud options (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini). Configure commit gates to catch high‑risk issues before merge.
Comprehensive AI analysis that integrates seamlessly into your IntelliJ IDEA workflow
Analyzes your VCS diff directly inside the IDE before commit, catching issues early in the development cycle.
Right‑click any commit in the VCS Log to analyze its changes in a dedicated dialog with sorting, filtering, search, and file navigation.
Blocks only high-risk changes (security, data loss, severe breakages) with explicit AI decision making.
Organized analysis across Code Quality, Security, Performance, Maintainability, Architecture, and Testing.
Local-first option with Ollama keeps analysis on your machine. With OpenAI, only selected code and diffs are sent via your API key. Built-in secret redaction protects sensitive data.
Free local tier: pick an installed model (e.g., llama3) and run analysis without sending code to the cloud.
Understands diffs and full-file content with intelligent handling of large changesets and size management.
Multiple entry points (Tools menu, editor/project menus, VCS Log) with detailed results in a tool window or commit dialog.
