Show notes

TJ Miller and Chris Gmyr compare the AI code review bots they are each building at work, from fixture repos of real PRs to requiring a line of code behind every finding. TJ also shares the eval-driven wizard he built to turn source material into learning content, sharing insights on building AI systems you can test and trust.
