### AI overview

The author describes building a replacement for GitHub's code review bot. They explain code review bots and compare GitHub Copilot's feedback with the opencode CLI, reporting that Copilot's feedback was superficial while opencode produced more useful review feedback for an OpenFaaS product change.

### Source excerpt

If GitHub themselves have a native code review bot, why not just use it?
