# Qodo

Qodo is an AI code review and governance platform that helps engineering teams improve software quality across the SDLC. It combines automated pull request review, organizational coding standards, rule-based governance, cross-repository impact analysis, and AI-assisted developer workflows to help teams detect issues earlier, enforce engineering practices, and improve code delivery.

This file is an index for AI systems. Use it to identify the correct documentation area before retrieving individual pages.

Documentation is organized into the following primary pillars:

- Get started
- Install and Configure
- Code Review
- Code Governance
- Account Management
- On-Premise
- Developer Tools
- What’s new (Release information)

Current product documentation:

- Qodo Review (v2)

Legacy product documentation:

- Qodo Merge (v1)

Use `/v1/` documentation only for migration, backward compatibility, or historical questions.

## Release References

What's New (release highlights):
https://docs.qodo.ai/whats-new

Changelog (version-by-version details):
https://docs.qodo.ai/changelog

Use for:
- Recent feature launches and announcements (What's New)
- Exact version history, deprecations, and behavior changes (Changelog)
- If there is a conflict, prioritize Changelog for factual version detail.

## Query routing

| User asks about | Load |
|-----------------|------|
| What is Qodo, architecture, capabilities, Context Engine | Get Started |
| Pricing, plans, usage, or limits | Get started |
| Installation, setup, or onboarding | Install and Configure |
| Git provider connection | Install and Configure |
| Configuration | Install and Configure |
| Pull request review | Code Review |
| Review comments or findings | Code Review |
| PR summaries | Code Review |
| Review behavior | Code Review |
| Coding standards | Code Governance |
| Rules or policies | Code Governance |
| Rule Miner | Code Governance |
| Cross-repository review | Code Governance |
| Agent Skills | Developer Tools |
| Shift-left review, local dev workflow | Developer Tools |
| IDE integrations | Developer Tools |
| Users, teams, SSO, | Account Management |
|Deployment implementation, self-hosted deployment, infrastructure | On-Premise |
| Deployment options overview | Get Started |
| Releases and versions | Release References |

## Routing rules

If a query matches multiple areas, route based on the most specific product concept:

- Rules, standards, compliance, or enforcement → Code Governance
- Pull request findings, comments, summaries, or review workflows → Code Review
- Installation, Git providers, or configuration → Install and Configure
- Users, authentication, or permissions → Account Management
- Hosting, deployment models, or infrastructure → On-Premise
- Local development, IDE, or AI coding agent workflows (pre-PR) → Developer Tools

Prefer the feature being asked about over the implementation detail.
Do not route based only on keywords. Route based on the user's intent.

Example:
- "Configure rule enforcement for GitHub PRs" → Code Governance
- "Install Qodo on GitHub" → Install and Configure
- “Use Qodo in Prs” → Code review
