AI Council and Greptile

Greptile builds a repository graph and uses it to review pull requests. AI Council builds a graph to give the agent context and rules before it edits.

In short

Greptile is an AI code review service focused on whole-repository context. It builds a graph of functions, classes, imports and dependencies, and during review it checks what a change affects beyond the diff. It learns from team reactions, picks up rules from discussions on its own, and through MCP lets you resolve its comments right from the IDE.

Of all the review tools, Greptile is closest to AI Council in its use of a code graph. The difference is where the graph does its work. Greptile uses it to check a finished pull request. AI Council uses it while the agent writes code, and adds a separate layer of decisions and rules with freshness checks.

Which to choose

  • When Greptile is enoughYour main pain is pull request review quality, and you want the reviewer to see how a change ripples across the whole repository.
  • When you need AI CouncilYou want the agent to know the project's decisions and rules before it writes code, and you want knowledge kept separate across parallel branches and flagged when it goes stale.
  • Can you use bothYes. Greptile reviews pull requests. AI Council prepares the agent before the edit and reviews branches against your project rules.

Greptile details are based on the vendor's public documentation and website as of October 2026: Greptile key features, Sacra overview. If anything has changed, let us know and we will correct it.
