AI code reviews without the vendor cloud overhead.
Most AI review tools route your source code through a vendor cloud before it reaches the AI. For security-conscious teams, that intermediary is a dealbreaker.
- Your code goes directly to the AI provider — no vendor in between
- Your own API keys, your own infrastructure (Docker-based)
- Deploy inside your firewall in minutes
Same AI providers. One less hop.
LiveReview doesn't replace OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, DeepSeek, or Ollama — it just removes the vendor cloud that normally sits between your code and the model.
Extra intermediary. More risk. Less control.
No intermediary cloud. Full control. Your keys.
Three reasons teams self-host
Self-hosting LiveReview means every part of the review pipeline — the code, the model, the API keys — stays under your control.
Control
Keep your code, infrastructure, and AI keys entirely under your control.
- No Intermediary Cloud — code goes directly from your servers to the AI provider
- Your Infrastructure — lightweight Docker container behind your firewall
- Your Keys — own API credentials, no vendor lock-in
Capabilities
Use the tools and models that fit your team.
- Any AI Provider — OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, DeepSeek, Ollama
- Any Git Host — GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Gitea (PR/MR comments)
- Any Review Workflow — PR/MR reviews, discussions, chat, MCP APIs
- Commit-Level Reviews — git-lrc gives feedback before code lands
- Terminal Feedback — claude-lrc enables slash-command review from the terminal
Cost
Reduce spend without sacrificing capability.
- Lower TCO — typically 40–50% lower than alternatives like CodeRabbit
- Lightweight Deployment — minimal infrastructure footprint
- Direct API Routing — avoid paying for an unnecessary intermediary layer
See what the full platform does
LiveReview is an AI code review platform — PR/MR comments, commit-time hooks, and IDE extensions — all powered by the AI provider you already use. Self-hosted deployment is just one way to run it.
Platform
Keep your code, your keys, and your control.
AI code reviews the way they should be — deployed inside your own infrastructure, using the AI provider and Git host you already trust.
