How can a team try Korbit AI?

A team can try Korbit AI by starting the 14-day free trial advertised on the site or by requesting a demo, then connecting a repository hosted on GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket. Once connected, Korbit reviews pull requests automatically and posts feedback in the PR. This path suits teams that already use one of those three platforms and want to evaluate AI review quality on real code before committing.

Before you start

Confirm three things so the trial is useful from day one:

• Repository host: Korbit works directly inside GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket. If your code lives elsewhere, the trial won't reflect your real workflow.
• A repository to test on: Pick one active repo with regular pull requests rather than an archived project. Review quality shows up best on code your team actually debates.
• A reviewer or lead to judge output: Someone needs to read Korbit's comments and decide whether they're accurate and actionable. The site cites that 47% of Korbit's suggestions get implemented and fixed, so expect a mix of accepted and rejected feedback.

Step-by-step: from signup to first review

1. Choose your entry point

The site offers two options: a 14-day free trial and a "Request Demo" path. The trial is the faster route for a hands-on evaluation; the demo suits teams that want a guided walkthrough before connecting code. Pricing details beyond the free trial are not specified on the page, so confirm commercial terms directly with Korbit if the trial converts to a paid plan.

2. Connect your version control platform

Authorize Korbit against your GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket account and select the repository you want reviewed. The integration is described as working "seamlessly" in all three. Expect to grant repository read access at minimum so Korbit can analyze pull request diffs and surrounding context.

3. Open a pull request

Korbit reviews PRs as they are opened. To get a meaningful first test, submit a PR with real changes — a bug fix or small feature — rather than a trivial comment edit. The review is context-based, meaning it looks beyond the changed lines, so a PR that touches shared logic gives a better signal.

4. Read the feedback and act on it

Korbit posts comments in the pull request identifying bugs and explaining how to fix them. It also generates a summary for each PR, which customers have called out as a strength. Your job at this stage is triage: apply the suggestions that are correct, note the ones that miss, and record both.

5. Verify the value

Run the trial across several PRs over one to two weeks. Track:

What teams report, and what to expect

Published customer testimonials describe several recurring outcomes: catching critical issues before testing, finding logic bugs in hard-to-read TypeScript, and reducing critical support tickets by catching bugs before production. One CTO described Korbit as "unlimited PR reviewers available 24/7"; another said it removed a bottleneck on key developers and doubled as a training tool for junior staff. A director at Techlogix noted it "helped our team find critical issues before they went for testing."

Treat these as vendor-published accounts rather than independent benchmarks. They indicate the kind of value to look for, not a guarantee your team will see the same results.

Common sticking points

• Skipping the summary: The per-PR summary is one of the most-praised features; read it before diving into line comments.
• Testing on a quiet repo: A repo with few PRs won't generate enough reviews to judge quality. Choose an active one.
• Expecting perfection: With roughly half of suggestions implemented, plan for a reviewer to filter output rather than accept everything.
• Ignoring the demo option: If your team needs buy-in from engineering leadership, the demo may be a faster path to a decision than a solo trial.

When this approach fits

Start the free trial if you use GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket, have an active repo, and can assign someone to evaluate feedback within two weeks. Request a demo instead if you need stakeholder alignment or a guided setup before touching production repositories. If your code isn't on one of those three platforms, confirm support with Korbit before investing time in the trial.
