# Automated review

Concept · [Building with AI](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/ai)

Also called: AI code review, AI review, review agent, automated code review, bot review

Having an [AI model](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/model) read and critique work, usually code, before a person does. It catches problems that rule-based [checks](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/automated-check) miss, such as confusing logic or a forgotten [requirement](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/user-story), but it can be wrong and does not replace a person signing off.

**For example:** Each change the [agent](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/ai-agent) proposes is first read by a separate reviewing agent, which [flags](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/feature-flag) a missing error message before the [founder](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/founder) looks.
