FlexReview in GA - Distributed owners, validation and more

FlexReview is out of Beta now, and can be directly accessed self-serve. Here’s what’s new:

Distributed owners file

Use aviator-config.yaml to define multi-level ownership definition in a YAML file. Distributed ownership simplifies updates and make it collaborative. Example:

Validation

A GitHub status check to ensure that appropriate approvals have been granted before a pull request is considered mergeable:

  • Reviewers are responsible for approving on behalf of the files they own.
  • Reviewers can be selectively dismissed when new code changes are pushed tied to their ownership.
  • Includes a break-glass override for emergency approvals.

Chrome Extension

Extension that shows which team is the owner for specific files. Highlights the files that you are responsible to review based on your ownership.

Chrome Extension highlight team (dark mode)
Chrome Extension highlight team (light mode)

OOO tracking

Set up OOO for team members who should be assigned for code reviews.

Set out of office

Slack Notifications

Set up each team’s default Slack channels and customize notifications. Get notified for pending team reviews, subscribe to listen to changes in specific code paths.

Announcing Aviator Agents (Beta)

Introducing Aviator Agents - an LLM-based agentic framework to perform large scale code migrations in your repositories.

How it works

These agents emulate human patterns to perform migrations by:

  • finding references and documentation
  • understanding dependencies
  • breaking down large chunks of code, and
  • verifying build status.

Aviator Agents plan out steps to perform a task and iterate to improve accuracy.

Unlike most LLM based frameworks, Aviator Agents is an end-to-end framework that connects directly with GitHub. This eliminates the need to set up a custom environment and build process.

Models

It directly integrates with GitHub and supports Open-AI o1, Claude Sonnet 3.5, Deepseek R1, and Llama 3.1 models.

Early access

Aviator Agents is currently in private beta. If you are interested in trying it out please reply back or sign up on: aviator.co/agents
