about
Ellipsis is an AI developer tool that automatically reviews code and fixes bugs on pull requests. Trusted by 9,300+ Github users. We launched on Product Hunt! Since then, we've grown to over 9,300+ developers using the product in 29,000+ codebases. We're free for public GitHub repositories! Simply install to use. Ellipsis is an AI teammate capable of answering questions, creating release notes, feature development, and fixing build issues. We understand that a wrong, confident answer is worse than a non-answer. When Ellipsis is confused, it's explicit about it. Ellipsis will never commit code without your explicit permission. You can configure Ellipsis to raise a side-PR so it's changes are clear. Ellipsis is SOC 2 Type 1 certified. To request a copy of our report, please email [email protected] or schedule a call with a founder.
features & capabilities
- /Get deep, LLM-powered code reviews on every commit of every pull request
- /Our code review AI can run and debug code, catching issues that traditional static code analysis tools can’t.
- /Add your own review rules to customize the review behavior.
- /Ellipsis can learn from your feedback to improve.
- /Hide old reviews in bulk to reduce clutter on long-running PRs.
- /Modify confidence_threshold to show fewer/more comments.
- /Add rules to enforce your team’s style guide using the UI or code in your ellipsis.yaml file.
- /If quiet mode is enabled, Ellipsis will only leave reviews when it has comments, so “Looks good to me” reviews will be skipped.
- /Disable automatic code review using auto_review_enabled.
- /Enable auto-review on draft PRs using auto_review_draft.
- /Disable auto-review on particular branches by specifying names (or Unix shell-style wildcards).
- /Allow Ellipsis to approve PRs using enable_approve_prs.

Use Cases▌
Task Automation
Handle multi-step workflows autonomously
Example
Schedule meeting → Find time → Send invite → Confirm attendees
Save 5-10 hours/week on routine coordination tasks
Information Synthesis
Gather data from multiple sources and summarize
Example
Research competitor pricing across 5 websites, create comparison table
Reduce research time from hours to minutes
Decision Support
Analyze options and recommend actions
Example
Review 20 vendor proposals, score against criteria, rank top 3
Make data-driven decisions faster
Architecture▌
AI agents combine large language models with tools, memory, and decision-making logic to autonomously complete multi-step tasks without constant human guidance.
LLM Core
Large language model for reasoning and decision-making
Understand tasks, plan steps, generate responses
Tool Integration
APIs, databases, external services the agent can call
Take actions beyond text generation (search, compute, write files)
Memory System
Short-term (conversation) and long-term (persistent) memory
Maintain context across interactions and learn from past actions
Orchestration Logic
Decision engine for choosing next action
Plan multi-step workflows and handle errors/edge cases
Implementation Guide▌
Prerequisites
- ›Clear task definition and success criteria
- ›APIs and tools agent will need to access
- ›Approval workflows for sensitive actions
- ›Monitoring and logging infrastructure
Installation Steps
- 1.Define agent scope and capabilities
- 2.Integrate necessary tools and APIs
- 3.Build orchestration logic for task planning
- 4.Test with low-risk tasks in sandbox
- 5.Monitor performance and iterate
- 6.Scale to production use cases
Key Considerations
- →Security: What actions can agent take without approval?
- →Reliability: What happens when agent fails mid-task?
- →Cost: LLM API calls can add up at scale
- →Monitoring: How to detect and fix agent mistakes?
Best Practices▌
✓ Do
- +Start with narrow, well-defined tasks
- +Monitor agent actions and outcomes
- +Provide human oversight for critical decisions
- +Iterate based on real-world performance
- +Measure ROI: time saved, errors reduced, costs
✗ Don't
- −Don't deploy without testing edge cases
- −Don't give agent access to sensitive systems without safeguards
- −Don't ignore agent errors—investigate and fix root cause
- −Don't scale before proving value on pilot tasks
Performance & Optimization▌
Key Metrics
- Task completion rate: % of tasks agent completes successfully
- Time to completion: Agent vs. human baseline
- Error rate: % of tasks requiring human intervention
- Cost per task: LLM costs vs. human labor savings
Optimization Tips
- →Cache common workflows to reduce redundant LLM calls
- →Fine-tune decision logic based on failure patterns
- →Expand tool library to handle more use cases
- →Implement human-in-loop for high-stakes decisions
