CodeRabbit has released a new integration that brings its AI-based code review system directly into Visual Studio Code, along with support for the Cursor and Windsurf IDEs. The extension allows developers to access real-time, in-editor code reviews at no cost, offering a secondary review layer alongside existing Git-based workflows.

The move is intended to embed AI support earlier in the development lifecycle. Previously, CodeRabbit operated primarily on GitHub pull requests. Now, developers can receive AI feedback while coding, with the IDE-based reviews targeted at individual contributors and Git-based reviews handling team-level coordination before merge.
