What does this automation do?
Every new pull request gets a first-pass review from an agent that knows your conventions, posted as a comment before a human opens it.
What can you do with it?
- Give every pull request a first read within minutes
- Apply the same conventions on every review
- Let humans spend review time on judgment, not formatting
- Keep the review where the code already is
The Steps
This automation runs in 3 steps:
- When GitHub — New Pull Request
- Then Taskade AI — Ask Agent ("Draft Reviewer")
- Then GitHub — Create Comment
What makes this different from a Zapier-style flow?
The "Draft Reviewer" step is not a one-off model call. It is a Taskade AI agent that knows your codebase conventions and review checklist, remembers the review comments it has already made, so every run builds on the last one instead of starting from an empty prompt.
A stateless "ask the model" step forgets everything the moment it returns. An agent keeps its knowledge and its memory between runs, carries its own tools, and can be handed work by other automations.
Who is this automation for?
Built for engineering teams with a slow review queue. Every new pull request gets a first-pass review from an agent that knows your conventions, posted as a comment before a human opens it.
How do you set it up?
- Open the "Automations" tab in your workspace.
- Click ➕ Add automation, then start from scratch.
- Add the trigger "New Pull Request" from GitHub.
- Add the action "Ask Agent" from Taskade AI. Point it at an agent called "Draft Reviewer".
- Add the action "Create Comment" from GitHub.
- Enable the toggle in the top-right corner to activate the automation.
