Show HN: GuidedReview, a Chrome extension that helps review AI generated PRs

GuidedReview, a new Chrome extension, converts GitHub pull requests into guided walkthroughs that cluster code changes for easier reading, addressing the limitations of automated code review agents. The developer argues that while automated agents are useful for finding bugs, they lack the contextual 'taste' of human reviewers, and GuidedReview helps humans read code more effectively.

Every company I see has an automated code review agent set up in their repository. It doesn't solve the code review problem. The automated review agents cannot be trusted the same way coding agents cannot be trusted.

They're very useful for finding bugs and edge cases you've missed, but they lack something only you have — "taste."

You have more context. You know the people, the business, and the product better than any coding agent. You know when an abstraction is unnecessary. You know what needs a comment. You know where to break the rules.

And, for that...

Nothing beats "reading" the code.

Problem is, reading code is not easy. It's even harder if your tools are designed for storing code rather than reading it.

That's why I built Guided Review. It's a chrome extension that converts your Github PR into a guided walkthrough so you can actually read code in clustered changes (not just big scrollable list of file changes in alphabetical order).
