JSHas anyone had any luck using Tabnine for code reviews?

Curious if anyone's used Tabnine's free plan and played around with their code review feature. I watched their videos, and the concept sounds promising — basically modeling how your best reviewers give feedback, then turning that into automated rules for your team.
Feels like a no-brainer in theory, but I'm wondering how well it works in practice. Anyone have experience with it? Does it actually save time or just add noise?

The idea is solid but I found it too rigid for creative projects. Works better for enterprise codebases with strict conventions.
It's kind of like having a really polite junior dev who knows your style guide but doesn't always get nuance. Helpful, but I still have to step in a lot.
We tried it in a mid-size team setup. It's decent for catching consistency issues and boilerplate problems, but it's not replacing real reviewers anytime soon. Think of it more as a linting layer with better vibes.
How long did it take to see meaningful improvements? We're considering it but worried about the learning curve.
