Feature request for product/service

BugBot

Describe the request

My suggestion is to make Bugbot be able to respond to replies on a thread and continue the conversation.

Bugbot is great for catching obvious bugs, but many cases are not obvious, and some require thinking about design. It helps to be able to clarify the context, ask Bugbot what assumptions it made, have a discussion, and push back when necessary.

Fundamentally, code review is not a binary “fix this bug or don’t” - it’s a conversation. If I can chat with Bugbot, I can identify faulty assumptions it made and overrule it. Or it could expose my faulty assumptions and make me more confident that it’s correct. It could help me understand the review, code and context better. Having a conversation, rather than “throwing the review over the wall”, would be an immense help and lead to better decisions following a code review.

Hey @AlexKubiesa_Gelt!

Thanks for the feedback.

One thing you might enjoy is using /review to run the review locally before raising the PR. This makes it easier to chat with an agent about the bugbot findings, since it’s happening in your chat.

Thank you, will try that as a workaround
