Sentry Launches AI Code Review to Prevent Bugs Before Production, Enhancing Developer Confidence and Code Quality

Sentry, the leader in application monitoring and developer-first observability, has announced the beta launch of AI Code Review, an AI-powered feature designed to identify and resolve critical code issues before they reach production. This new capability marks a pivotal expansion of Sentry’s role in the software development lifecycle, moving from post-deployment debugging to proactive error prevention. AI Code Review leverages advanced artificial intelligence, drawing on Sentry’s deep contextual understanding of codebases, infrastructure, and real-world application behavior. Similar to Sentry’s AI debugging agent Seer, which has demonstrated over 94% accuracy in root cause analysis and delivers context-aware fixes in seconds, AI Code Review brings that intelligence earlier in the development process. “AI has already transformed how software is built,” said Milin Desai, CEO of Sentry. “The only thing easier than debugging errors with Sentry is having fewer errors to debug in the first place. Now, developers can use AI to catch issues before they ship, ensuring cleaner code, faster releases, and greater confidence.” The feature is designed to act as the first line of defense in software development. It automatically reviews pull requests for potential bugs, security flaws, performance issues, and code quality problems. It also generates unit tests on the fly, improving test coverage and reducing the manual effort required during code reviews. Rohan Bhaumik, Senior Product Manager at Sentry, emphasized the impact: “The only thing easier than debugging errors with Sentry is having fewer errors to debug in the first place. By combining predictive error detection with automated testing, AI Code Review drastically reduces wasted time in code reviews, strengthens test coverage, and lets teams merge with confidence.” This move represents a strategic shift for Sentry, which has long been known for its post-production observability tools. With the acquisitions of Codecov in 2022 and Emerge Tools in 2025, Sentry has built a foundation for integrating code coverage, performance monitoring, and AI-driven insights across the entire development pipeline. AI Code Review now unifies these capabilities, offering a seamless experience from development to deployment. For engineering leaders and business decision-makers, the benefits are clear. Reduced debugging time, fewer production incidents, improved code quality, and faster release cycles translate into higher productivity, lower risk, and greater customer satisfaction. AI Code Review is currently available in beta for GitHub users. Developers can enable the feature by installing the Sentry and Seer GitHub apps and activating AI-powered options in their settings. Sentry is used by over 4 million developers and 140,000 organizations worldwide, including major companies like Disney+, Cloudflare, GitHub, Anthropic, Vercel, and Atlassian. With the introduction of AI Code Review, Sentry is positioning itself at the forefront of the next generation of developer tools—bridging observability, testing, and AI to deliver software that is not only reliable but built right the first time.
