not to review techical documentation to identify design issues
But this is exactly where AI can actually be useful — so long as you don't depend on it to identify all of the design issues. It can review mountains of information and find things in it you might not have caught. You just can't assume that it will catch everything it "should" — that is, what it should be capable of catching is not necessarily what you are capable of catching.
Meanwhile, that periodic report has requirements, so you're going to have to ask it to write the report, then to review it to see if it met the requirements, then to review its own statements about whether it successfully met each requirement, because it won't do any of that sanity checking without being told to do so.
