Getting started
Automation Nation puts a panel of independent AI reviewers on every pull request, so real bugs get caught before they merge. Here's the whole thing, start to finish.
1. Connect a repository
From Your repos, connect the GitHub repository you want reviewed. You'll install the GitHub app on that repo (GitHub asks you to approve it) and come back here. That's the only setup — no config files to commit, nothing to run.
2. Pick your reviewers
Each repo runs a panel of AI reviewers you choose. You don't need to know which model is which — the connect screen gives each a plain-English strength:
- Claude — deep reasoning. Catches logic bugs, security holes, and design problems,
and explains the why.
- GPT — well-rounded. Wide language coverage and practical, balanced feedback.
- Gemini — big-picture. Fast with a large memory; great for big diffs and cross-file
review.
- Grok — blunt second opinion. Direct, and won't rubber-stamp.
More reviewers = more blind spots covered, but also more cost per review. Two or three is a sensible start; you can change the panel anytime on the repo's Manage page.
3. Open a pull request
Open a PR the way you normally would. The panel picks it up automatically, each reviewer reads the diff, and they post their verdicts. If they disagree, they get a few rounds to argue it out. You don't have to do anything while this happens.
4. Read the result card
When the panel finishes you get a single card that tells you plainly what to do — most often "All required reviewers approved and CI is green" (safe to merge). If the panel splits, the card explains the disagreement and it's your call. The [full guide](/guide) walks through every card you might see, in plain English.
5. Merge
You always do the merge yourself on GitHub — the reviewers never merge for you. Tap Approve & Merge on the card, or merge on GitHub directly.
