Advanced AI Code Review is available on all plans.
This guide walks you through the advanced AI code review capabilities of MatterAI, which provides deeper, more comprehensive analysis using tool-use enabled AI.

​
What is Advanced AI Code Review?

The /matter review-max command performs deep, tool-enabled code analysis that goes beyond surface-level scanning. The AI can read multiple files, search your codebase for patterns, and provide comprehensive feedback with higher accuracy.

​
Key Capabilities

​
Tool-Use Enabled Analysis

  • Multi-file reading: AI reads relevant files across your codebase
  • Pattern search: Searches for similar code patterns and implementations
  • Context awareness: Understands your project’s architecture and conventions
  • Dependency analysis: Analyzes relationships between components

​
Deeper Analysis

  • Architectural issues: Identifies design pattern violations and architectural concerns
  • Security vulnerabilities: Detects potential security risks and best practice violations
  • Performance bottlenecks: Finds performance issues and optimization opportunities
  • Code maintainability: Suggests improvements for long-term code health

​
Confidence Scoring

Each review comment includes two confidence scores:
  • Detection confidence: How confident the AI is about the issue
  • Fix confidence: How confident the AI is about the proposed solution

​
Smart Suggestions

  • Precise code suggestions: Provides exact code changes with line numbers
  • Context-aware recommendations: Suggestions consider your project’s specific context
  • Best practice alignment: Recommendations follow industry best practices

​
When to Use Advanced AI Code Review

​
Best For:

  • Complex PRs with multiple files: When changes span across many files
  • Security-sensitive changes: For authentication, authorization, or data handling code
  • Performance-critical code: For algorithms, database queries, or rendering code
  • Architectural reviews: When making significant structural changes
  • Simple documentation changes
  • Minor formatting or style fixes
  • Straightforward bug fixes with clear solutions

​
How to Use

  1. Trigger the review: Comment on any PR with /matter review-max or @matterai review-max
  2. Wait for analysis: The AI will analyze your code using tool-use capabilities
  3. Review the feedback: Examine the comprehensive review comments with confidence scores
  4. Apply suggestions: Use the provided code suggestions to improve your code
