What is Greptile?

Greptile is an AI code review bot that indexes your whole codebase so its pull request comments catch bugs with full context. It is a Y Combinator company and raised a $25M Series A led by Benchmark in 2025.

Most review bots only look at the diff, but Greptile builds a graph of your repository first, so it can flag problems such as a change that breaks a function used elsewhere, duplicated logic or a violation of team conventions. It posts summaries and inline comments on pull requests, learns from which comments your team accepts or ignores, and follows custom rules you write. Engineering teams use it to speed up reviews, catch bugs before merge and keep large codebases consistent.

Main Features

  • Indexes the full repository to review changes with codebase context.
  • Posts pull request summaries and inline review comments.
  • Flags bugs, security issues and broken dependencies across files.
  • Enforces custom rules and coding conventions you define.
  • Learns from the comments your team accepts or dismisses.
  • Offers Base, Plus and Apex review depths priced in credits.
  • Supports self-hosting and GitHub Enterprise on the Enterprise plan.
