About Qodo

Qodo is building a code governance layer on top of code review — Rules Lifecycle System and Advanced Configurations shipped.

Qodo is an AI code review platform expanding toward what it explicitly calls 'code governance' — a persistent knowledge layer (Context Engine) that understands repository structure, PR history, and organizational requirements, paired with a Rules Lifecycle System that encodes team standards into enforceable review rules. Advanced Configurations (August 2026) give teams granular control over when reviews run, which standards apply, and how findings are presented to developers. The Kiro integration extends governance to Amazon's new IDE.
