Bubo
Bubo is an agentic AI code review tool for GitLab and GitHub that uses an LLM of your choice to provide actionable inline feedback on pull and merge requests [1][2]. It is designed to be self-hosted, keeping code, diffs, and review data entirely within your own infrastructure [1][2].
Recent updates have focused on simplifying the operator experience by adopting REST-only SCM integration, standardizing LLM configuration keys, and introducing opt-out anonymous usage analytics via PostHog [3][4].
