Metabob: Generative AI for debugging & refactoring code
Metabob is an AI-based code review tool that utilizes a combination of Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) and Generative AI (LLMs). Using the underlying techniques, Metabob can detect complex logical problems and vulnerabilities, as well as general opportunities for code quality improvements. Metabob explains its detections in natural language and can generate code recommendations to fix the detections using an integrated fine-tuned LLM.
Supported Languages
Python
JavaScript
TypeScript
C
C++
Java
AI Code Review
Automatically detect problems, vulnerabilities, and code optimization opportunities
View natural language explanations for the detected problems
Generate code recommendations to fix the detected problems
Give feedback on the detections to optimize model performance (discard, endorse)
To disable Metabob anlaysis from running every time code is saved, go to the extension settings and deselect the checkbox under the text "Metabob: Analyze Document On Save"
To change the backend LLM model Metabob uses to generate problem descriptions and code recommendations, select your preferred model from the "Metabob: Backend Selection" drop down menu
If you prefer to use one of the openai models, you need to authenticate by inputting your openai API key into the text field under "Metabob: ChatGPT Token" text field on Metabob's extension settings
Usage
Analyze code
View detected problems
Generate fixes for detected problems
Data Policy
Metabob deletes all data from it's problem detection model one hour after the user has made their last API call. However, as Metabob integrates with third party LLMs to generate problem descriptions and code recommendations to perform fixes, Metabob has to pass data to these models and cannot control how the data is used by the companies hosting these LLMs.
