Introducing NeetoBugWatch: Your AI-Powered Code Review Assistant, Built in Public

Yedhin Kizhakkethara

November 6, 2025

At Neeto, we believe in building in the open. For the past few months, we've been sharing every step of the NeetoBugwatch journey, from architecture decisions to cost breakdowns, publicly. You can follow the entire process through our lead developer, Yedhin, on his LinkedIn profile.

Today, we're thrilled to announce that the early release of NeetoBugwatch is officially here and ready for you to try.

Code reviews are the backbone of quality software, but they are also a major bottleneck. They're manual, time-consuming, and so damn expensive. We asked ourselves: what if you could have an expert, tireless pair of eyes on every pull request?

That's exactly what we built.

What is NeetoBugwatch?

NeetoBugwatch is a smart tool that automatically reviews your pull requests, providing insightful, line-by-line feedback directly in GitHub. We're launching with support for Google's powerful Gemini models, but our vision is to be model-agnostic. We are already working on integrating Claude, OpenAI models, and more, giving you the freedom to choose the best AI for your needs.

Our goal is simple: to make your code review process smarter, faster, and more consistent, freeing up your developers to focus on what truly matters.

How It Works: Simple, Secure, and Controllable

Getting started with NeetoBugwatch is incredibly straightforward:

  1. Sign Up & Connect GitHub: Create your NeetoBugwatch account and grant it access to the repositories you want it to review.

  2. Connect Your LLM API Key: To give you full control over costs, NeetoBugwatch uses your own API key. It's securely encrypted and only used to perform reviews on your behalf.

  3. Enable Repositories: From your dashboard, you have granular control. By default, reviews are disabled for all repositories. This is a deliberate choice to ensure you never incur unexpected LLM costs. Enable them for individual repos or all at once with a single click.

Our Pricing Philosophy: Radically Transparent and Affordable

We believe that powerful developer tools should be accessible to everyone. That's why our pricing model is fundamentally different from competitors like Cursor Bugbot or CodeRabbit.

You can read our full philosophy at neeto.com/pricing-philosophy, but here's the summary:

  • Free Plan: All core features of NeetoBugwatch are available for free. This includes automated code reviews, GitHub integration, AI-powered analysis, and full configurability.

  • Pro Plan ($2/month per organization): For a flat, predictable fee, you get everything in the Free Plan, plus the peace of mind that you can cancel anytime.

  • LLM usage costs are billed directly to you by Google and are not included in this price.

Why This Model?

Because it costs "virtually nothing to run". This isn't a marketing gimmick; it's our core strategy. Many companies already have subscriptions or credits with major AI providers. By using your own API key, you leverage your existing deals. For individuals, providers like Google offer generous free credits (e.g., $300 for Gemini), which is more than enough to run for months.

To put it in perspective, we've been running NeetoBugwatch across our entire Neeto ecosystem. In just 85 days, it has performed:

  • 2,744 automated code reviews

  • 5,028 specific in-line comments

  • Across 122 different repositories

The most critical part is the feedback loop. Our developers have submitted 32 "false-positive" reports, and every single one has been used by the AI to learn and improve.

The total cost for all this activity to date? Less than $100.

This is the power of a transparent pricing model combined with smart architecture.

This is Just the Beginning: An Early Release

We're calling this an "early release" because we have so much more planned. You can look forward to:

  • Support for More LLMs: Claude, OpenAI, and other leading models are on the way.

  • Deeper Customization: More control over review rules and styles.

  • Context System: Fetch contexts from multiple repositories to provide enhanced reviews.

A Note on Our Advanced Context System

Internally, we use a powerful "Context System" that gives NeetoBugwatch deep knowledge of our internal libraries, leading to incredibly precise review suggestions.

However, this Context System is not yet available in this public release. We are committed to shipping polished, intuitive features, and it requires more refinement to provide the seamless, self-service experience we demand for a public product. Bringing this to your projects is our top priority for a future release.
