Assert provides a code review platform that breaks pull requests into reviewable units and offers inline UI previews, enabling faster and more comprehensive reviews. It detects code moves and refactors to link related changes, rebases comments after new pushes, and supports sending review comments to background agents for automated edits, streamlining the developer workflow.

Problem
Developers often struggle with code reviews that become noisy and time‑consuming, especially when code is moved or refactored across files, leading to duplicated reading and missed changes. Maintaining context for in‑progress comments after new commits further slows the review cycle.
Solution
Assert improves the efficiency and completeness of code reviews by automatically partitioning pull requests into logical reviewable units and providing an inline interface that highlights moved or refactored code. The platform links identical code blocks across files, reducing the need to read the same code twice. Review comments can be sent directly to background coding agents for automated edits or copied as prompts for existing assistants, offering a flexible workflow between manual and automated changes. When new commits are pushed, Assert rebases existing comments to the latest version and offers a guided conflict resolution flow. A re‑review mode presents only the delta since the reviewer’s last view, keeping prior context subtly highlighted for quick reference.
Target Audience
Assert is aimed at software development teams and individual engineers who perform code reviews on platforms such as GitHub, especially those handling large or frequently updated pull requests.
