Code review is a bottleneck, and most tools only check the diff
PRs sit in review queues for hours or days. When someone finally looks at them, they are scanning a diff, not running the code, not checking the UI, not verifying the build passes. They are pattern-matching on text.
Linters and static analysis catch syntax issues. They do not catch that a button moved 12 pixels left, that a new dependency broke an existing test, or that a refactor introduced a subtle regression in edge-case behavior.
Real code review means running the code. Tembo does that.
PR opened. Agent reviews. Human approves.
- 1
PR triggers the agent
A pull request is opened on GitHub. Tembo automatically picks it up and spins up an isolated cloud environment with your repo, dependencies, and tools.
- 2
Agent checks out and runs the code
The agent checks out the PR branch, runs the full test suite, builds the project, and spins up the application to check for visual and functional regressions.
- 3
Agent posts findings
The agent leaves inline review comments on the PR: test failures, visual diffs, security flags, performance concerns, and suggested fixes. It can also open follow-up PRs for recommended changes.
- 4
Human reviewer approves
Your team reviews the agent’s findings alongside the code. The agent does the grunt work. The human makes the judgment call. Nothing merges without approval.
More than a linter. More than CI.
Test results
Full test suite execution. Identifies which tests fail, why, and whether the failure is new or pre-existing.
Visual regressions
Builds and renders the UI in a browser. Compares screenshots against the base branch to catch layout and styling changes.
Security issues
Flags new dependencies with known vulnerabilities, exposed secrets, unsafe patterns, and security anti-patterns.
Performance impact
Identifies changes that could affect bundle size, load times, or runtime performance. Flags potential bottlenecks.
Build verification
Confirms the project builds successfully. Catches compilation errors, missing dependencies, and configuration issues.
Suggested fixes
When issues are found, the agent suggests fixes and can open follow-up PRs with the recommended changes.
Why not just use a linter?
Linters & static analysis
- Check syntax and code style
- Run against the diff only
- Cannot run tests or builds
- Cannot check the UI
- Cannot suggest multi-file fixes
- No context about your codebase
Tembo code review
- Checks out and runs the full codebase
- Executes the test suite end-to-end
- Builds the project and verifies output
- Renders UI and catches visual regressions
- Opens follow-up PRs with fixes
- Understands your repo, patterns, and history
