Closing the code review loop with Bugbot Autofix
Summary
Bugbot Autofix extends the code review agent so it can find issues in pull requests and automatically propose fixes. It spawns cloud agents in independent virtual machines that test software, and more than 35% of its changes are merged into the base PR. Now out of beta and available to all Bugbot users, the feature adds proposed fixes to the pull requests Bugbot reviews once enabled. Bugbot’s average issues identified per run has nearly doubled over six months, while the user resolution rate rose from 52% to 76%, indicating more bugs are caught and fewer false positives are flagged. Future work includes configurable automations, self-verification, deeper research, and continuous codebase scanning.
Context
Agents are handling more ambitious tasks, generating thousands of lines of code, and controlling computers to demonstrate their work. The extension applies these capabilities to code review, with a focus on identifying issues that users resolve before pull requests are merged.
Approach / What changed
Bugbot Autofix spawns cloud agents in independent virtual machines to test software and propose fixes for issues found in pull requests. It is enabled through the Bugbot dashboard and is now available to all Bugbot users after leaving beta.
Takeaways
Bugbot Autofix changes are merged into the base pull request more than 35% of the time.
The average number of issues identified per Bugbot run has nearly doubled in six months, while the user resolution rate increased from 52% to 76%.
Planned extensions include custom event-driven automations, self-verification of findings, deep research on complex issues, and continuous codebase scanning.
