We're excited to release Bugbot, our code review agent that automatically analyzes your changes to find logic bugs, edge cases, and security issues before they make it into production.
We built Bugbot for ourselves to help us review our PRs and it has since become a core tool as we continue to build Cursor.
To get started, go to the Bugbot tab in your Cursor dashboard.
How Bugbot works
Bugbot runs automatically on your PRs and gathers context from your changes to truly understand the intent of the code. We use the best available models along with our own techniques to find meaningful bugs while keeping the false positive rate low.
With Bugbot rules (BUGBOT.md
), you can also guide reviews using custom knowledge about your codebase. When Bugbot flags an issue, you can send it to Cursor or launch a background agent on the web with one click.
Results during beta
During Bugbot's short beta, it has already reviewed over 1 million PRs and found over 1.5 million issues. Perhaps most importantly, over 50% of identified bugs are resolved by the time the PR is merged.
We've worked closely with several companies that have deployed Bugbot across their teams. Here's what engineering leaders have to say:
One of our staff engineers told me: 40% of my time goes into code reviews. Bugbot helps give that time back—and lets our best engineers stay focused on high-leverage work.
Ankur Bhatt
Head of AI Engineering, Rippling
I've tried many AI review tools. Bugbot produced less noise, caught real bugs, and just slotted perfectly into our flow.
David Cramer
Co-Founder & CPO, Sentry
Bugbot blew us away with the nuance of the bugs it was catching. The generator-verifier gap is real, and Bugbot is incredibly strong at reviewing AI-generated code.
Vijay Iyengar
Engineering Leader, Sierra
We've had PRs approved by humans, and then Bugbot comes in and finds real bugs afterward. That builds a lot of trust.
Kodie Goodwin
Senior Engineering Manager of AI Tools, Discord
We've come to rely on Bugbot for our own code reviews, and we're excited to see what it does for your teams.
