Hi Team,

I want to know if it's possible to add Copilot as a code reviewer to a pull request in Azure Devops. Kindly recommend a workaround if such feature isn't available.
This feature available for Git hub pull requests
https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/using-github-copilot/code-review/using-copilot-code-review?tool=webui

Thanks

We want to use Azure Pipelines or Pull Request policies to enforce quality gates with Github code reviews

[darren-kay]

Considering we pay for Copilot for our devs we get very little value as Azure DevOps users. I would like to see Azure DevOps supported by Copilot rather than just getting a few bits in Visual Studio.

[TRSwami]

Exactly, I too would like this feature!!

[traviswilsonshamrock]

Definitely want this feature! Would be very helpful to integrate to be able to use copilot reviews in Azure!

[jaiconM]

Definitely want this feature too! Would be very helpful to integrate to be able to use copilot reviews in Azure!

[mlwigdahl]

Agreed, this would be a great feature!

[elizabethnayana]

Integrating GitHub Copilot review into Azure would be highly advantageous

[calvin-liu-smartdaily]

This will definitely be my biggest motivation for using Copilot

[zkaram78]

That would be awesome to have Copilot as a reviewer in Azure DevOps, just like in VS Code "Review and Comment" but on larger scale.

[jlw-medivet]

Definitely, especially if we can setup the pipeline to always add CoPilot as a reviewer - quicker feedback if there are improvements to be made.

I'm the founder of CodeAnt AI, and here's why we built it:

A lot of teams kept asking us for AI code reviews for Azure DevOps - but nothing existed.

So we created CodeAnt AI specifically for Azure DevOps.

It plugs directly into your pull requests and automatically checks for security vulnerabilities and code quality issues across 30+ languages. You can even set custom rules in plain English - no complex setup needed.

You can check it out here: CodeAnt AI on Azure DevOps Marketplace

We also have a 14-day free trial, so feel free to give it a try.

While we wait for native AI PR reviews in Azure DevOps, we’ve been experimenting with AI-driven code reviews using the OpenAI Codex CLI. The
reviews run in our Azure DevOps CI pipelines and are triggered as a status check on every PR.

This setup keeps all code on our own infrastructure—no additional third-party services are involved beyond OpenAI. The entire review runs on the same self-hosted build agents that already build the code and run the tests.

Another advantage is per-project customization: each project can define its own code-review prompt (alongside an Agents.md file), letting us tailor the review’s focus for every project.

For now, the bot invokes a custom PowerShell script to integrate with Azure DevOps (so we can tightly control what it can do), but we’ll be migrating it to an Azure DevOps MCP server soon.

If anyone is interested drop me a message and we can good deeper into the details.

[dvircohenint]

Hi, sounds cool, i would like to know more details please. 10x!

TL;DR
Our solution has three parts: the Codex CLI integrated into build agents, a review prompt file stored in the project repository, and an Azure DevOps build pipeline that performs the review.

We integrated the Codex CLI into the Docker image that we use for our self-hosted build agents.

Then we created a simple file with a prompt that describes that we want a pull request review for a PR with ID X between branches Y and Z.

The main part of this prompt is a description of a custom PowerShell script that we created (or, to be more precise, that AI created) which serves as a gateway to Azure DevOps. It has methods to retrieve linked work items, read comments, and post comments (with or without suggestions). This script takes a PAT token from an environment variable.

The last piece of the puzzle is an Azure DevOps pipeline that runs as a build check for every PR.
In this pipeline, we set the environment variables (tokens for Azure DevOps and Codex, etc.), load the prompt file from the repository, and pass the prompt into the Codex tooling.

This gives us a usable version of AI-powered code reviews. Since this first version, we’ve added a few additional improvements, but we’re not willing to share all the secrets so openly just yet. 😄
