What Sourcery is
Sourcery is an AI code review and refactoring platform. It supports a wide range of programming languages, integrates with GitHub, GitLab and mainstream IDEs, and provides instant feedback, PR summaries, review guides and visual change views.
A built-in coding assistant generates tests, documentation, code explanations and refactoring suggestions, and the platform supports custom review rules and learning from team feedback. Zero code retention and self-hosted deployment are offered.

Who it is for
