Candidates review a pull request against a small codebase, then an AI agent responds to their comments in real time, simulating a real engineer. The platform evaluates bug coverage, communication quality, PR revision count, and token use efficiency — metrics the founders argue are increasingly relevant as AI-generated code becomes the norm and engineering judgment matters more than code output. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How does the Merge code review hiring assessment work? Candidates are shown a small codebase and a pull request to review. An AI agent responds to each comment in real time, simulating a real engineer, for up to 5 revision rounds. The platform then scores candidates on bug and vulnerability coverage, communication efficiency and constructiveness, and how many revisions and tokens the review consumed. _Teams rethinking their engineering hiring process track tools like Merge on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [AI Code Review Bottleneck 2026: Why PRs Are Stuck in Review](https://daily.dev/posts/ai-code-review-bottleneck-2026-why-prs-are-stuck-in-review-o7qcycgq0) · Alex CloudStar · 2 upvotes · 1 comments - [AI Code Review at Scale: LinkedIn's Multi-Agent Approach](https://daily.dev/posts/ai-code-review-at-scale-linkedin-s-multi-agent-approach-7lpkuhkzi) · InfoQ · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Agentic Code Review](https://daily.dev/posts/agentic-code-review-0ue8fcsa1) · Addy Osmani · 147 upvotes · 14 comments --- Tags: [#devtools](https://daily.dev/tags/devtools), [#ai-agents](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-agents), [#code-review](https://daily.dev/tags/code-review) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/merge-ai-native-code-review-assessments-hcbr8u2sr) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Merge: AI-native code review assessments","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/merge-ai-native-code-review-assessments-hcbr8u2sr","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/merge-ai-native-code-review-assessments-hcbr8u2sr"},"datePublished":"2026-08-07T07:50:10.432Z","dateModified":"2026-09-14T07:53:43.357Z","description":"Merge is a new hiring platform that replaces Leetcode-style interviews with AI-native code review assessments.
