TL;DR: AI shouldn't review its own code, but the right tooling can help. Here are 5 tools built for the AI era: Aviator Verify checks code against approved intent rather than just reading the diff, CodeRabbit offers low-noise diff review with built-in linters, Greptile analyzes whole-repo context for cross-file bugs, Graphite/Diamond understands stacked PRs, and Qodo ties reviews to test coverage gaps.
