Revue
A free, open-source terminal tool that turns large AI-generated code diffs into narrated, ordered chapters so you can review them guided instead of scrolling through a wall of changed files.

Description
When an AI coding agent hands you a 40-file diff, reviewing it in GitHub's web UI often means jumping between files with no sense of what to look at first or why. Revue tries to fix that by organizing the same diff into an ordered, narrated walkthrough you follow in your terminal.
Revue is a terminal-based code review tool: it takes a large code change and, using AI agents, breaks it into chapters with narration explaining what each part of the diff does and why, so you get a guided tour instead of an unstructured file list. It also works as a standalone diff viewer without narration, supports inline comments that get fed back to the reviewing agent, and stores review sessions as local files next to the repository — nothing goes to a server. Navigation is fully keyboard-driven, and it's MIT-licensed and free.
💬 Our review
The short version: Revue is a smart, free response to a genuinely new problem — reviewing large agent-generated diffs — and it's worth trying if your team is already leaning on AI coding agents for substantial changes.
GitHub's and GitLab's built-in review UIs are the default and free, but they present diffs flatly with no narration or sense of priority, which is exactly the gap Revue targets. CodeRabbit and similar AI PR-review bots take a different approach — auto-generating review comments directly on the PR rather than a narrated terminal walkthrough — and are usually paid SaaS products rather than a free local CLI tool. Revue's local-only, keyboard-driven, terminal-native design is a real differentiator if you prefer staying in the terminal and want your review data to stay on your machine rather than going through a third-party service, but it also means no built-in team-sharing or PR-integration layer the way GitHub-native tools have. For solo developers or small teams doing heavy agentic development, it's a low-risk, zero-cost tool to add to the workflow.
