Feedback wanted: open-source AI code review browser extension and possible Gerrit support

[Jay Elsheikh]

Hi Gerrit community,

I’m working on ThinkReview, an open-source browser extension for AI-assisted code reviews directly inside code review pages.

The extension currently supports pull/merge requests on GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps, including several self-hosted/server variants. It works as a Chrome/Chromium and Firefox WebExtension, with both hosted AI review support and a local Ollama option for teams that want reviews to run privately on their own machine.

The project is open source under AGPL-3.0:

https://github.com/Thinkode/thinkreview-browser-extension

Website:

https://thinkreview.dev

I’m posting here because Gerrit has a different review model than GitHub/GitLab-style PRs, and I’d like to understand whether Gerrit users would find this useful before building support for it.

A few questions for Gerrit users/admins:

Would an in-browser AI review assistant on Gerrit change pages be useful?
What would be the right integration point: change screen, diff view, comments, checks/submit requirements, or something else?
Are there common Gerrit setups, plugins, or permissions that an extension should be careful about?

This is not Gerrit-supported yet. I’m mainly looking for feedback from people who use Gerrit day to day so the integration, if built, fits the workflow instead of forcing a GitHub/GitLab mental model onto Gerrit.

Thanks

Jay

How is this different from Gerrit's native AI chat support? If you're not familiar with this feature you can see it in action at [1], minute 21:06 on the video.

Hi Daniele,

Thank you for pointing me to where I should look in the video.

I'd say the difference is mainly in the ability to set up custom review agents for each project with custom scoring (down below I was working on OpenMRS project and I setup a OpenMRs security scrout and I feeded it up with best practices URL)

The interface is also more user friendly with clickable elements to get explanations on the review findings

Happy to answer any of your questions

Jay
