Built for teams who are tired of PRs going stale

We built this because we kept forgetting to review each other's PRs. Now it's just part of our morning routine - check Slack, see what needs review, done.

Frequently asked questions

🔒 What permissions do you need?

Only read-only access to repository metadata and PR information. We never access your actual code, and all data is encrypted in transit and at rest.

⚡ How quickly can we get started?

Setup takes about 5 minutes. Connect your GitHub/GitLab account, add HotBot to your Slack/Discord/Teams, configure your first notification schedule, and you're done. No technical setup required.

🔇 How do you control notification noise?

Smart defaults exclude drafts, WIP PRs, bot-generated content, and already-reviewed PRs. You can customize filters by labels, file paths, authors, and more. Most teams see 90% less notification noise.

🎯 Do you create false positives?

Rarely. Built-in intelligence filters for draft status, WIP labels, reviewer assignments, and team conventions. Our algorithms learn your team's patterns to minimize irrelevant notifications.

⚙️ How customizable are the escalation rules?

Fully customizable. Set different thresholds for different repos, exclude certain labels or authors, define escalation chains (reviewer → team lead → manager), and customize timing for each step.

💰 What if we need to cancel?

Cancel anytime with one click. No contracts, no cancellation fees. Your data is exported and deleted within 30 days.
