Can I use AI for the code review? (discuss.online)

I've finished a small project that is rather non-standard for me: it has just a few hundred lines of logic written by me, and most of the code is rather banal functions I picked up from the different articles and doc sheets (you know, those functions that are quite "atomic" like "check if the process is running" or "get the process name by pid by reading /proc dir" or "get a mount point by a filename")

The code was written in a "ok, let's experiment if I can do this" approach, so now it is in a complete mess.

So the question is if is there some AI that can do an initial code review for me? I've tried GhatGPT, but it was completely banal and useless.

Static analysis tools will yield better results ime. What language are you working in?

I have experience with paid code review AI. It’s mostly bad. It did catch few bugs throughout the course of the project but I wasted much more time on useless or sometimes straight up wrong suggestions. I also think static code analysis gives more value
