GPT Pilot

Hi Product Hunters! 👋 I'm happy to show you the first real AI developer inside your IDE! 🎉 🎉 So far, we’ve seen many “AI developers” which are actually just advanced autocomplete or chat features. GPT Pilot acts as an actual developer that writes production ready applications, debugs them, iterates on the code, asks you questions, requests a review, etc. - just like a developer would act, while you, the human are a team lead who oversees the implementation. 🔬 Open sourcing the core technology? A couple of months ago, we created the technology called GPT Pilot but it was still in the CLI. We got a great response from the community with over 15.000 stars on GPT Pilot Github repository. We strongly believe we’re in the middle of the biggest transformation of humanity in our lifetime. However, to push this transformation forward, there is a lot of research that needs to be done to find out, how can we utilize AI for software development the most. At GPT Pilot, we’re doing a lot of R&D and we want to help everyones else to continue upon our progress and improve. Because of that, we decided to completely open source the core technology. This way, everyone can benefit from our research and even continue to work on it. 🧑‍💻️ Current state of AI developers There are many tools that are aiming to build an AI developer amongst which are Github Copilot or Replit Ghostwriter. We believe an AI developer is a tool that acts as a developer and doesn’t just autocomplete what a human would write anyway. We strongly believe that the future of software development enables humans to develop apps very rapidly. Today, development process is very slow because you can spend a couple of days just looking for a bug. AI is great for this because it can iterate extremely fast. 🏗️ How GPT Pilot works ✅ Specifications - when you start GPT Pilot, it will ask you what kind of an app or a feature you want to build. Then, it will ask you questions to clarify what you want to build. ✅ Development plan - GPT Pilot breaks down the app or a feature into development tasks which are tasks just like a human would. After each task is done, it asks you for a review. This way, you can point out issues on time and GPT Pilot can debug these issues during the development and not when the entire app is done. ✅ Writing code, running and debugging - GPT Pilot acts as a real developer where it doesn’t just write code and let you debug it but rather it writes code, runs it, checks the output and debugs the code. ✅ Talking to you - GPT Pilot talks to you whenever it needs feedback about if a feature is working correctly, when it needs a code review or when it gets stuck and can’t solve an issue 📖 Additional resources 👨‍💻 Github repo 📱Demo app from the video 🎬 10 minute technical demo 🎬 Full 37 minute video of using GPT Pilot 📝 Technical blog post explaining how GPT Pilot works [part 1/3] 📝 Technical blog post explaining how GPT Pilot coding works [part 2/3] 📝 Recall context analysis 🌟🌟🌟 Finally, since GPT Pilot is open source so it would mean so much if you could star GPT Pilot repo on Github 🌟🌟🌟

Very cool! I didn't quite get the repo comparison tool, how does that fit into the whole story? As for code generation - do you see it as a pro or as a con that it doesn't use any high level framework? Can I get it to use one? What about helping me later, can it help me continue developing my app? What is the precision, how many mistakes does it make? What are some examples of the most complex thing is can build?

can I use it in JetBrains Rider?

This looks very promising, does it work on scale? Congrats

I will always admire and support these kinds of projects. Open Source dev is pretty challenging, so it's good to see projects that have got such great traction. Hats off to the Makers and contributors that made it possible! You have my respect. Great work and good luck with this launch!

Can I use GPT Pilot if I'm not using VS code? I'm on RubyMine.

Sweet! Looks like it can really take care of a ton of boilerplate code when jumpstarting a new project.
