## IDE V1.5.9 - 8th Aug 2025

### Transitioning Bito's IDE extension to AI Code Reviews

Over the coming weeks, Bito is focusing its IDE extension's core functionality from AI Chat and Code Completions into a powerful utility experience for software engineers: an agentic, codebase-aware AI Code Review Agent in your VS Code and JetBrains IDE.

<mark style="color:blue;">**What’s being added**</mark>

**Bito AI Code Reviews in IDE:** Available in limited beta for VS Code and JetBrains IDEs. Offers real-time feedback on code changes, directly in your editor.

<p align="center"><a href="https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Bito.Bito" class="button primary">Install for VS Code</a><a href="https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/18289-chatgpt-gpt-4o--bito-ai-code-assistant" class="button primary">Install for JetBrains</a></p>

The upcoming **`@codereview`** command in the chat box will let you run the following code reviews:

* **localchanges** – Review local changes&#x20;
* **stagedchanges** – Review staged changes&#x20;
* **path** – Review a single file or multiple files&#x20;
* **commitId** – Review a single commit or a range of commits&#x20;

If you’d like access to the beta, [email us at support@bito.ai](mailto:support@bito.ai?subject=Beta%20access%20to%20AI%20Code%20Reviews%20in%20IDE\&body=Hello!%20My%20name%20is%20______%20and%20I%20work%20for%20______.%20I%27d%20like%20to%20preview%20Bito%27s%20AI%20Code%20Reviews%20for%20my%20IDE.%20Today%2C%20I%20use%20______%20\(VS%20Code%20or%20JetBrains\).).

<p align="center"><a href="../ai-code-reviews-in-ide/overview" class="button primary">Learn more</a></p>

<mark style="color:blue;">**What’s being removed**</mark>

By end of August (and your next monthly billing cycle), the following features will be removed from the IDE extension:&#x20;

* AI Code Completions&#x20;
* Prompt Templates&#x20;
* Parts of AI Chat in your IDE not associated with AI Code Reviews&#x20;

These features are deprecated from the IDE extension to reduce surface area and double down on quality, context-aware reviews. Fortunately, there are many tools available that focus on these engineering features. \
&#x20;

<mark style="color:blue;">**Who gets access**</mark>

Today, the beta of Bito AI Code Reviews in your IDE is limited to select engineering team. If you’d like access, email us at <support@bito.ai>.&#x20;

<mark style="color:blue;">**New feature**</mark>

**Agentic code reviews are here:** Bito’s [AI Code Review Agent](https://docs.bito.ai/ai-code-reviews-in-git) is now fully Agentic. This update replaces the previous chain-of-thought pipeline with an Agentic approach that dynamically identifies context, generates and validates reviews autonomously, and explores code more freely. The result: deeper issue detection, better code understanding, and higher-quality suggestions with less noise.

## AI Code Review Agent - 9th May 2025

<mark style="color:blue;">**New feature**</mark>

**Request changes in GitLab:** Now, Bito's [AI Code Review Agent](https://docs.bito.ai/ai-code-reviews-in-git) fully supports GitLab's "Request Changes" feature.

<mark style="color:blue;">**New feature**</mark>

**More control with new slash commands:** You now have better control over your code reviews with new commands. Easily `/pause`, `/resume`, or `/abort` reviews across GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket. Additionally, you can `/resolve` comments directly within GitLab and Bitbucket, streamlining your review workflow.

* `/pause` - Pauses automatic reviews on this pull request.
* `/resume` - Resumes automatic reviews.
* `/resolve` - Marks all Bito-posted review comments as resolved.
* `/abort` - Cancels all in-progress.

**Improved accuracy in suggestions:** The AI Code Review Agent now accurately identifies which lines have changed, preventing irrelevant suggestions on unchanged lines that appeared due to context lines. This ensures more precise and useful feedback during code reviews.

**Faster code reviews:** AI Code Review Agent now processes trivial code parts in parallel to significantly speeds up overall review times and boosts productivity.

**Streamlined GitHub commenting:** You can now submit comments as "Request Changes" directly within GitHub, improving your feedback process. Additionally, inline comments are processed faster through batching, making your GitHub review workflow smoother.

**Flexible agent configuration:** Customize your review processes more effectively with new agent configuration settings. You can choose between Essential and Comprehensive review modes and tailor review request settings to fit your team's unique workflow requirements.

## AI Code Review Agent - 18th Mar 2025

<mark style="color:blue;">**New feature**</mark>

**Automated reviews only for default branch:** By default, the [AI Code Review Agent](https://docs.bito.ai/ai-code-reviews-in-git/overview) now excludes `main`, `master` and `*` all non-default branches from automated code reviews. This means you won’t get reviews on branches that aren’t the main focus of your development. Pull requests merging into your repository’s default branch are always reviewed, even if the branch is added in exclusion list. And if you need a review on another branch, simply use the `/review` command to override the defaults.

## AI Code Review Agent - 13th Mar 2025

<mark style="color:blue;">**New feature**</mark>

<mark style="color:blue;">**Improvement and Bug fixes**</mark>

**Reliable code reviews:** We fixed an issue that caused Additional Feedback (performance and code structure) reviews to fail, ensuring a smoother review process.

**Uninterrupted code reviews:** Automatic retry logic now manages Bitbucket rate-limit errors, keeping your reviews running without interruption.

**Complete TypeScript context:** We've fixed an issue where TypeScript export global variables weren't included in the review context. Now your reviews capture all the important code elements to provide context-aware and accurate AI code reviews.

<mark style="color:blue;">**New Feature**</mark>

**No Duplicate Comments:** Bito's [AI Code Review Agent](https://docs.bito.ai/ai-code-reviews-in-git/overview) now avoids posting duplicate comments. It achieves this by reviewing all its previous suggestions on a pull request before adding new ones. If it finds an existing suggestion that matches a new one, it skips the new one to avoid duplicates. This ensures the Agent provides only unique and relevant feedback on each pull request. However, if a user deletes a suggestion, the Agent will recommend it again in the next review.

**More Relevant Suggestions:** We've improved the accuracy and relevance of code suggestions by better understanding the context of your code.&#x20;

**Targeted Code Analysis via GitHub Actions:** The AI Code Review Agent running via GitHub Actions now offers targeted code analysis with specialized commands!

<mark style="color:blue;">**Improvement and Bug fixes**</mark>

**Improved Code Review Quality with Less Noise:** We've enhanced the [AI Code Review Agent](https://bito.ai/product/ai-code-review-agent/) to ensure you only see relevant suggestions. This means you'll no longer see suggestions that are already implemented in the code or those that primarily recommend documentation updates. Plus, each suggestion now displays the most relevant code changes (diff), making it easier to understand the context of the suggestion.

**Better Code Review Process:** The Agent now triggers automatic code reviews only for essential events, such as opening a pull/merge request. This reduces unnecessary reviews triggered by actions like closing and reopening. You can still request a manual code review by simply posting `/review` in a comment on the pull/merge request.

## AI Code Review Agent - 22nd Mar 2024

<mark style="color:blue;">**New Feature**</mark>

**AI that Understands Your Code:** The [AI Code Review Agent](https://bito.ai/product/ai-code-review-agent/) can now better understand code changes in pull requests. It achieves this by analyzing relevant context from your entire repository, resulting in more accurate and helpful code reviews.&#x20;

To comprehend your code and its dependencies, we use Symbol Indexing, Abstract Syntax Trees (AST), and Embeddings. For more information, see [How does Bito’s “AI that understands your code” work?](https://bito.ai/blog/how-does-bitos-ai-that-understands-your-code-work/)&#x20;

Supported languages include JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, Go, Python, C, C++, PHP, and C#.&#x20;

**Static Code Analysis for Python:** The AI Code Review Agent now actively supports static code analysis for Python code using Astral Ruff and Mypy, in addition to its existing support for Java, Objective C, and C/C++. It proactively identifies potential errors and vulnerabilities within your Python codebase, thereby improving code quality and accelerating development cycles.&#x20;

**Inline Comments:** We've added support for inline comments in both GitHub and GitLab. This means code suggestions are now provided directly within each file, under the code diff. This offers a clearer view of the specific lines that need fixing.&#x20;

Inline commenting is by default enabled for all new and existing AI Code Review Agent instances. The “Overview” section now shows the number of files changed and suggestions made in a pull request, along with a link that directs you to the specific file changes.&#x20;

To manually trigger inline code reviews with comments directly on the code diffs, post the `/review` command as comment on the pull request. You can also add a new optional parameter like `/review #inline_comment=False`. This lets you receive a full-post code review instead of separate inline comments under the diffs.&#x20;

## AI Code Review Agent - 15th Mar 2024

<mark style="color:blue;">**New Feature**</mark>

**Added Support for GitHub/GitLab Enterprise (self-hosted):** You can now integrate Bito's [AI Code Review Agent](https://docs.bito.ai/ai-code-reviews-in-git/overview) with your on-premises GitHub or GitLab environment to enhance security. This is crucial for organizations in regulated industries with strict data compliance requirements.

[**Get started using Bito Cloud**](https://docs.bito.ai/ai-code-reviews-in-git/install-run-using-bito-cloud)

**Multiple Specialized Engineers:** We've made significant improvements to the way the [AI Code Review Agent](https://docs.bito.ai/ai-code-reviews-in-git/overview) analyzes your code. It now acts as a set of specialized engineers each analyzing different aspects of your PR.  They analyze aspects such as Performance, Code Structure, Security, Optimization, and Scalability. By combining and filtering the results, the Agent can provide you with much more detailed and insightful code reviews, bringing you a better quality code review and helping you save time.

## IDE V1.1.7 - 8th Sep 2023

<mark style="color:blue;">**Improvement and Bug fixes**</mark>

<mark style="color:blue;">**Improvements in AI that Understands Your Code**</mark>

After introducing code-understanding capabilities in our previous versions, we've now made it even better in this release. Learn more about Bito's [**AI that Understands Your Code**](https://docs.bito.ai/ai-code-reviews-in-ide/ai-that-understands-your-code) feature.&#x20;

**Introducing .bitoignore:** You can now tell Bito to skip certain files and folders during indexing. Perfect for indexing those big repositories without the unimportant stuff.&#x20;

**30% to 40% Faster Indexing:** We have improved the way your repo is indexed. Now, Bito can understand every 10MB of code in just 16 to 18 minutes, a big leap from the old 30-minute mark. Enjoy the speed!&#x20;

**Up to 120MB Max Repo Size:** You can now index larger repositories. We've bumped up the indexing limit to 120MB per repo. Need to trim a bit? Use the .bitoignore feature to exclude specific files and folders and remain within the limit. Happy indexing!&#x20;

**Over-100% Indexing Bug Fixed:** Good news! We've fixed that quirky bug where the indexing went beyond 100% during repo reindexing. No more overachieving percentages!&#x20;

<mark style="color:blue;">**Billing Related Bug Fixes**</mark>

**Billing Invite Glitch: All Sorted!** Had trouble inviting users via the Bito Web UI for billing? Good news! We've fixed that hiccup. Invite away!

## IDE V1.1.6 - 28th Aug 2023

<mark style="color:blue;">**Improvement and Bug fixes**</mark>

**File/Folder Filtering Improved for Indexing:** We've added more files and folders to the exclusion list, speeding up the indexing process by preventing Bito from indexing unnecessary files and folders.

**Progress Indicator for Indexing:** Index building now has a progress indicator based on the number of files indexed. The progress indicator for the current folder is updated in real-time. However, for projects in the "Other projects" section, the progress indicator is updated every 5 minutes.

<figure><img src="https://2860197046-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FYgNBTrPKG0DuVdAyDvSa%2Fuploads%2FbBH06CkjI2BtYteaRGnj%2Fwn_1.png?alt=media&#x26;token=9ba467b1-2f80-4272-892f-9e1768d2c32e" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Added "Indexing is paused" status:** This status will be displayed for a project that was previously being indexed but is now paused for some reason. Generally, if you close the IDE while the project is being indexed, its status will change from "Indexing in progress" to "Indexing is paused."

## IDE V1.1.4 - 14th Aug 2023

<mark style="color:blue;">**New Feature**</mark>

**AI that Understands Your Code:** Bito's most requested feature is here. Bito AI now comprehends your codebase inside out using AI indexing, ensuring privacy as the index stays on your system. &#x20;

Simply add "**my code**" or “**我的仓库**” in Chinese to your AI requests and watch Bito efficiently navigate your repository, providing precise solutions.&#x20;

&#x20;Try it out with queries like:&#x20;

1. Find errors in scraper.py in my code.&#x20;
2. Write frontend and backend code for user authentication, using the authentication service in my code.&#x20;
3. List files and changes needed to add a "desc" column in the "raw\_data" table in the "dailyReport" DB in my code.&#x20;

2. **Fix for Context Menu and Shortcuts on Ubuntu 2023.1 JetBrains:** Fixed an issue where the context menu and shortcuts were not functioning correctly on Ubuntu 2023.1 JetBrains, causing the selection of code and options like explain code not to work as intended. This has now been resolved.

## IDE V1.0.134 & CLI 3.0 - 14th April 2023

#### <mark style="color:blue;">New Features</mark>

1. **CLI "My Prompt":** We're excited to announce the launch of Bito CLI My Prompt, our first step in empowering developers to automate tasks with AI.   My Prompt makes creating accurate and concise prompts for your development tasks easy, reusing them with simple Bito commands. It allows you to automate various coding tasks, such as generating commit messages, test data, or code documentation. The possibilities are limitless. Two new command line options support My Prompt feature:

<figure><img src="https://2860197046-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FYgNBTrPKG0DuVdAyDvSa%2Fuploads%2Ffmy70fMFHLQeinQeRMbe%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=bcbe5296-ad6a-4ea4-80cc-50e22b363e39" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

<mark style="color:blue;">**Improvement and Bug fixes:**</mark>

1. Improved Explain Code Shortcut: Previously, the Explain Code shortcut button provided a summary of the code logic, but with our latest update, it now also provides a detailed, step-by-step explanation of the code. We have merged two previous shortcuts into one. Now, developers can easily understand the code logic and its components.&#x20;
2. We've fixed an issue where the CTRL+C command was not working on Mac OS. Now, you can easily copy and paste text without any problems.
3. We've resolved an issue with context menus and shortcuts not working on Ubuntu 2023.1 JetBrains. This fix ensures that all shortcuts and context menus work as expected, making it easier for developers to navigate the IDE.
4. We've fixed an issue on Linux version 2023.1 IntelliJ where users could not type anything in the text area of our chat interface. This fix ensures that users can input text as expected.

## IDE V1.0.133 - 30th March 2023

#### <mark style="color:blue;">New Features</mark>

1. **Chat Session History:** In the last release, we added [Context-Aware chat](#new-features-1).  This release lets you view past chat sessions on the chat interface. The history feature is located at the top right corner of the chat interface. With this, users can easily revisit their past conversations, making it easier to pick up where they left off. Additionally, users can share their past chat sessions with colleagues, making it easier to collaborate and share knowledge. The new chat session History adds another layer of convenience and functionality to the AI assistant.&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://2860197046-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FYgNBTrPKG0DuVdAyDvSa%2Fuploads%2FFyTzkRHjrWowUsy2DrDn%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=e2c79921-1117-489e-baca-81983aaadf83" alt=""><figcaption><p>Access Chat Session History</p></figcaption></figure>

<figure><img src="https://2860197046-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FYgNBTrPKG0DuVdAyDvSa%2Fuploads%2FPgfwhRVPY4DDm8b6x3GX%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=b054e65d-8ea9-4c57-aeb1-122265ddfff7" alt=""><figcaption><p>History of Chat Sessions</p></figcaption></figure>

1. **GPT-4:** We are thrilled to announce that we have integrated GPT-4, the industry's latest and most powerful generation model. With GPT-4 integration, Bito's AI assistant is now even more powerful and capable of providing detailed and accurate responses to various programming-related queries. Developers can ask complex questions and receive natural language responses that are both helpful and informative.
2. **Long Code Input:** Bito fully leverages GPT-4's increased token limit. With this, users could input and receive feedback on larger blocks of code, making it easier to troubleshoot and optimize code for performance. The exact size of the code depends on many factors, including how long the current chat session is. **Bito can take 2-3x longer code input than the input length supported by the previous version of Bito.**&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
Note that we use a combination of GPT-4 and GPT Turbo 3.5 models. We route long, complex prompts to GPT-4 and short prompts to Turbo 3.5 models. This helps us balance the quality of output that Bito generates and the cost of servicing users. If you ask Bito about the model in use, most likely, it will say GPT-3, as this simple prompt is routed to Turbo 3.5.&#x20;

We may offer a paid version of Bito in the future that always uses GPT-4 or other advanced models. However, our internal testing has shown that the output quality for simple and short prompts is not very different between 3.5 and 4. The full benefit of GPT-4 is realized in complex, long prompts or when prompts are related to niche facts that models are likely to hallucinate. We have not seen "hallucination" as a major issue for the development-related use cases that Bito is targeting.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

<mark style="color:blue;">**Improvement and Bug fixes:**</mark>

1. **Stop Generation in Chat Interface:** We have added a Stop Generation button to our chat interface, allowing users to stop the response generation process anytime. This feature will be especially helpful in cases where users have asked a question incorrectly or want to modify their question before receiving a response.

<figure><img src="https://2860197046-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FYgNBTrPKG0DuVdAyDvSa%2Fuploads%2Fim46UjPYspL0gpRjrW5C%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=528a0a02-cd39-47e5-86ba-06be83fa15ca" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

2. **Diff View Bug Fix** – We have resolved a bug in our VS Code Extension v1.0.132. The bug affected one of our key features, Diff view, which provides a side-by-side view of changes proposed by Bito AI in the IDE. The bug was causing multiple diff views to open simultaneously, which could be confusing. This has been fixed now.&#x20;

## IDE V1.0.132 & CLI V2.0 - 16th March 2023

#### <mark style="color:blue;">**New Features**</mark>

1. **Context-Aware Chat:** Our latest update is the most critical one since our launch. Many of our users had requested an interactive chat experience similar to ChatGPT, which was unavailable in earlier versions. With this new update, you can now ask follow-up questions to refine the output, which considers the chat history for context. You can initiate a chat session with a custom request, use Bito Shortcuts like Performance Check, and follow up with additional prompts.  To give you an idea of how it works, here is an example of an interactive chat session.&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://2860197046-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FYgNBTrPKG0DuVdAyDvSa%2Fuploads%2Fca12fq7crzUMWpMNACig%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=49da75e2-cad2-4882-8efd-aa8f447765cb" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

2. **Instant Results:** With the latest release of Bito, you can now experience instant results that appear within seconds. In previous versions, users had to wait patiently while being entertained by amusing messages, but we understand that this could become frustrating over time. This new update implements streaming output, allowing you to access the information you need with minimal delay immediately.

Note: Context-Aware Chat and Instant Results are available in the latest version of [Bito CLI](https://github.com/gitbito/cli) and [Chrome Extension](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bito-ai-use-chatgpt-to-10/afchmofckbnlkpnjkdikdkgnjelhlbkg?hl=en).

<mark style="color:blue;">**Improvements & Bug Fixes**</mark>

1. **Dynamic Font Size & Family:** This feature in Bito adjusts the interface's font size and family dynamically based on the font size you have set up in your Integrated Development Environment (IDE) settings. The goal of this feature is to make the chat interface more accessible and comfortable to use for all users, regardless of their font preferences, visual acuity, or screen size.
2. **Configure Keyboard Shortcuts**: This feature allows users to customize the default keyboard shortcuts in Bito to avoid conflicts with other IDE-specific shortcuts they may be using. By configuring keyboard shortcuts, users can streamline their workflow and increase their productivity by accessing Bito functions more quickly and efficiently. The instructions for configuring keyboard shortcuts in Bito are in this [link](https://docs.bito.ai/ai-code-reviews-in-ide/ai-chat-in-bito/keyboard-shortcuts#change-default-keyboard-shortcuts).

## IDE V1.0.130 - 24nd Feb 2023

#### <mark style="color:blue;">**New Features**</mark>

1. **Diff View:** Bito Shortcuts added many quick operations on your existing code, such as checking performance, improving code readability, or security check. The Diff View in IDE now gives a side-by-side view of the changes proposed by Bito AI. Bito automatically creates a temp file with the proposed code changes and displays diff view with your current code file. IDE's built-in "diff review feature" lets you review and accept/reject the changes. We love that Bito AI can improve your code in many ways, but we want you to be in control while incorporating changes to your code repository. Diff view is built just for that.&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://2860197046-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FYgNBTrPKG0DuVdAyDvSa%2Fuploads%2FAvKmLxli6s6jS9OIhcS2%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=f0942238-8c45-4d42-831f-b1f4246faf2b" alt=""><figcaption><p>Diff view for the code changes proposed by Bito</p></figcaption></figure>

2. **Keyboard Accessibility:** We have added keyboard accessibility to all UI elements in Bito. You can navigate with Tab and Shift + Tab. Standard keys such as Enter, ESC, and Up/Down arrows work. You can also move between Q\&A with the Up and Down arrow keys once the Q/A container is focused.
3. **Keyboard Shortcuts:** Keyboard shortcuts for the most commonly used commands.&#x20;
   * &#x20;SHIFT+ CTRL + O: Brings Bito panel in focus. With this shortcut, you can toggle Bito Panel on/off in the JetBrains extensions. In VS Code, the shortcut will open the Bito panel (if not already opened). You can use shortcuts of other tabs (e.g. CTRL + SHIFT + E for Explorer) to close Bito. &#x20;
   * SPACEBAR: Puts cursor in the chatbox when Bito panel is in focus.
   * ENTER: Execute the chat command.
   * CTRL+ ENTER or SHIFT + ENTER: Adds a new line in the chatbox.
   * The following shortcuts work on the Q\&A when a Q\&A is selected.&#x20;

<mark style="color:blue;">**Improvements & Bug Fixes**</mark>

1. The Bito icon in the JetBrains IDE is optimized, so the extension panel doesn't take up space when not in use.&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://2860197046-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FYgNBTrPKG0DuVdAyDvSa%2Fuploads%2FkOXfbAhYo8UtCYlQN2xH%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=79dcbb58-3352-4df9-92f4-8b2085f5af72" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

## V1.0.129 - 31st Jan 2023

#### <mark style="color:blue;">**Improvements & Bug Fixes**</mark>

1. **Code Block** formatting and syntax highlighting make it easy to distinguish code from the text content in the chat output. When you use Shortcuts to transform any existing code, the original code is collapsed by default in the question box, thus giving more space for the answer, and the output code is formatted and syntax highlighted.&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://2860197046-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FYgNBTrPKG0DuVdAyDvSa%2Fuploads%2FovocCUypfkiuXEcjetPV%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=bb41cf8e-dd19-4417-b178-611526230fee" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

2. Several UI improvements to make Bito look and work great in your IDE. We have reduced padding around the questions and answers blocks so you see more content. The scrollbars are optimized to take up less space and reduce visual clutter.&#x20;

## V1.0.128 - 18th Jan 2023

#### <mark style="color:blue;">**New Features**</mark>

1. **Shortcuts** give your existing code power of Bito AI. Select any code snippet in your code editor, and use Bito Shortcuts to run security, performance, or style check.
