AI product
fruitfly.review is an experimental code-review web tool by Nick Nisi that runs pull requests or pasted before-and-after code through a simulated fruit-fly reviewer. Jev answers descriptive questions about each change, converting those answers and tokens from changed lines into literal code smells or an odor that drives glomeruli and selected Kenyon cells in a simulated brain based on scans of real fruit-fly neurons and wiring. The mushroom-body and motor-neuron activity produces approval, rejection, or abstention signals. Pull requests are processed hunk by hunk, with a second pass using frozen familiarity synapses to identify changes that still seem novel. Sugar and bitter rewards teach the system which smells correspond to good and bad code; an independent AI can generate test inputs, and ordinary code execution checks the original and changed versions against the written contract. The demo reports 88% accuracy in testing.
