CodePilotAI is an AI assistant that understands your entire project. Ask questions about your code, add new features, or refactor safely, all in plain English. Built for creators who want to turn ideas into reality, without getting stuck on syntax.
👋Hey Product Hunt!
Let's start with the honest truth: I built this AI tool, and I don't know Python, JavaScript, or any other programming language.
My name is kobaltgit, and I'm the founder of the project I'm about to tell you about. For years, I had ideas, but every single one hit the same wall: the need to spend years learning syntax. I wanted to build, not just memorize.
🤔 The Problem: The AI Forgets
When the first AI assistants emerged, I thought, "This is it!" But the magic quickly faded. I'd ask an AI to "add a button," and it would forget the project's context and styling we'd just established. The AI had no "map" of my vision.
💡 The Solution: CodePilotAI — An AI Navigator for Your Project
Since the AI couldn't build it itself, I decided I had to create a tool that would draw this map for it.
That's how CodePilotAI was born.
This isn't just another Copilot clone. It's a navigator that unfurls a complete project map before the AI for every task.
🚀 What can it do? It transforms AI from a simple "code writer" into a full-fledged "project architect":
- 🧠 Understand existing code: You can "ask" it about your own project: "Which file contains the authentication logic?" or "What is the purpose of `utils.py`?" It will analyze the code and provide an accurate answer.
- ✨ Add new features meaningfully: Tell it: "I want to add Stripe payments." It won't just write random code; instead, it will analyze the structure and suggest exactly which files need changes and what those changes should be to correctly integrate the new feature.
- 🛠️ Refactor across the entire project: Need to rename a function used in ten different places? CodePilotAI will find all mentions and help you do it safely, maintaining the integrity of the entire application.
🎬 The Proof: I Built a Real App Without Writing a Single Line of Code
Talk is cheap. The best proof is a demonstration. Here's a video where I, a person who can't code, create a perfectly functional Markdown converter in Python from scratch.

For me, this is true Vibecoding — a state where technology removes the syntax barrier, allowing you to directly translate your ideas into a working product.
❤️ My Mission: Removing All Barriers
To be honest: I don't claim this idea is entirely unique. My mission with CodePilotAI is different: to remove every single barrier between a great idea and a working product.
The first barrier is skill. That's why I built this tool.
The second barrier is cost. That's why CodePilotAI is completely free and open-source. But it gets better. Thanks to the ridiculously generous free tier of Google's Gemini API, you can build, iterate, and launch an entire medium-sized project from scratch without spending a single dollar.
No subscriptions, no API bills. Just your idea and your imagination.
🐙 The project is fully open source, and the code is available on GitHub.
Now, Over to You!
I'm incredibly excited to hear your thoughts, feedback, and ideas. Check it out on GitHub and let me know what you think!
I'll be here all day to answer every single one of your questions in the comments.
What would you create if the only limit was your imagination?
