I am very skeptical about this service. Aside from cosmetic changes (which should be automated anyway) code reviews are better served by people who know intimately the problem we are trying to solve. Some code could look pretty neat (and pass the review) but still overall would be a mistake to have it.

Appreciate your view. I think for teams with strong code review practices, we make sense as extra eyes rather than full replacement. Edit to expand: We also believe that reviewers attached to projects will gain context quite rapidly. We had a reviewer catch an edge case bug for one of our teams that had gone unnoticed by internal review. Economic side of this would have been large... but was only possible through the context they gained in previous reviews.
