💻 In this video, I’m showing you how CodeRabbit can save you from disaster when coding with AI. We all use tools like Cursor, Claude, and Gemini to move faster — but faster doesn’t always mean cleaner. That’s where CodeRabbit comes in.

👇🏼 I’ll demo three ways to use it in your workflow.

1️⃣ First, the CLI right in your terminal — this is the real game changer, giving you completely free AI reviews on staged and unstaged changes before you even commit. It keeps you in flow, flags messy code, and stops bugs before they spread.

2️⃣ Then we’ll look at the editor extensions in VS Code, Cursor, and Windsurf, which catch issues before you commit to your changes — making sure you don’t miss anything while you’re in the zone.

3️⃣ Finally, the pull request reviews, where CodeRabbit automatically summarises your changes and highlights risks so nothing sloppy makes it into production.
