Propel catches more than basic bugs
Propel surfaces issues that affect production quality, not just correctness.
- Bugs and security issues
- Performance regressions
- Architectural concerns
- Code duplication and maintainability issues

Why Teams Choose Propel
Review that stays independent from code generation.
Independent author and reviewer
When the same AI system writes and reviews code, blind spots compound. Propel gives teams a separate reviewer that is independent from code generation.
- Reviews code from Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Devin, and humans
- Works as a quality gate instead of an extension of the authoring tool
- Helps reduce overconfidence in generated code
Configuration that adapts to your team
Propel adapts to how your organization reviews code across repos, teams, and individual developer preferences.
- Picks up existing codebase patterns
- Controls which comment types to surface
- Tunes comment density and detail level
- Applies settings at company, team, repo, or developer level
