Uber Engineering's account of uReview shows how an automated code reviewer can be improved by measuring what happens after it comments. The talk's published description says the team tracked developers' replies, whether comments were addressed and the AI agentAn AI system that doesn't just answer once but works toward a goal in a loop — taking actions, reading the results, and deciding what to do next.Full definition →'s sequence of actions. It reports about 25,000 comments a week, with roughly 67% addressed, and a 60% cost reduction against the team's initial implementation. Addressed comments measure developer response, not independently verified correctness. The useful operational change was connecting review output to developer feedback and execution traces, giving the team evidence for tuning its reviewers.
