Agentic review
Agentic review is an automated review pass performed by an agent. Use it when you want a strong first check that applies your project's constraints and review focus areas consistently. This works especially well when you plan to follow up with a pull request and a team review.
Agentic review runs as a separate task with a fresh agent session and its own context, so it does not interfere with the main task. You can also use a different agent and model for review than the one that implemented the change.
Agentic review does not replace human review. It helps you find issues early and makes the final review faster by turning common checks into repeatable feedback.

Review changes with an agent
After a task is finished, both the Chat tool and the Task Changes editor tab show the Agent Review button.
Click Agent Review.
JetBrains Air starts a dedicated review subtask. It runs in a separate agent session and uses its own context, so the review does not interfere with the main task.
When the review is finished, click Show Comments.
The agent leaves review comments that you can inspect and triage.
Review the comments in Task Changes and in the Comments tool.
Select the comments you agree with and click Send to send them to the main task.
The main agent uses the accepted comments as follow-up instructions and updates the code. When it finishes, you return to the diff and review again.
Customize agentic review
You can configure agentic review globally and override it per project.
Global review settings
In Settings, open the Global tab and go to . There you can:
Select the agent and model used for review.
Edit Review guidelines to control what the reviewer focuses on.
Project-specific review prompt
You can override the global review guidelines with a project-specific review prompt. Project-specific review guidelines are stored in the repository: ./air/review/review-prompt.md.
Use project-specific guidelines when the repository has special constraints or review expectations that should be shared with the team.
