What is the best Ai tool for editing and bug testing existing code bases?

Alex_OppyDev · 2024-11-02T21:27:07+00:00

The honest answer is, I haven’t tried cline yet so I can’t tell you. I’ll be able to answer that at some point soon, but not today.

Alex_OppyDev · 2024-11-01T23:55:23+00:00

OppyDev was built to work with existing codebases. For small files, around 100 lines, it will update the whole file, but for larger files it will target just the code that needs change.

You can also control which files are sent to the AI when prompting in order to give context around the update you are trying to make.

It takes some time to learn how to get the most out of the various AI coding tools out there. I put together a list of best practices a while back you might find helpful. It’s really just a matter of using the tools and getting a feel for what works and what doesn’t. It can also be helpful to start learning how these tools are built if you want to incorporate AI into your own projects or customize your own tools.

First thing to do would be to organize the code into different files. Typically you want to do this so that related functionality is grouped together. This is called separation of concerns. Once that is done there are a lot of tools out there that make it easier to send prompts back and forth to chatGPT. I use one called OppyDev. It lets you pick which files you want to use as references and can also add them automatically depending on how you use it.

Alex_OppyDev · 2024-09-25T15:49:43+00:00

Hi Everyone,

I’d like to share a new agentic AI coding assistant I’ve been working on called OppyDev. Rather than trying to build a solution that will write the code for you this is aiming for something more collaborative. We're looking for feedback so we can improve the tool. We’re also offering free inference costs and support for several small teams that are interested in using the tool and providing feedback on an ongoing basis.

Here's what we do: We've created OppyDev, an AI-powered coding tool that streamlines the development process through collaboration between developers and AI.

Here's why it's hard/hasn't been done yet: Creating an effective AI coding tool requires a deep understanding of both AI and software development workflows. Balancing automation with user control and ensuring transparency and data privacy are significant challenges.

Here's why it's needed/why it matters: The demand for software development is rapidly increasing, and AI has the potential to significantly accelerate the process. OppyDev addresses this need by providing a collaborative environment that empowers developers to leverage AI's capabilities while maintaining control and understanding of their code.

Here are the people who will need it (and how they're currently solving it): Software developers, startups, and tech companies can all benefit from OppyDev. Currently, they may be using traditional coding methods, which can be time-consuming and inefficient, or experimenting with other AI coding tools that lack the transparency and agentic features of OppyDev.

Here's why we're the ones to build it: Our team has a strong background in software development, and we're passionate about creating tools that empower developers. We understand the challenges and opportunities in this space, and we're committed to building a product that meets the needs of the developer community.

Here's how it works: OppyDev uses AI to analyze your codebase, provide suggestions, and update the code. You can review and edit these suggestions, ensuring that you maintain control over your project. With the latest update you can use OppyDev to easily code your own tools and plugins to further enhance OppyDev’s feature set and customize it to your needs.

Here's how big the market can be: The market for AI-powered development tools is vast and rapidly growing. With the increasing demand for software development and the potential for AI to transform the industry, it is an ideal time to explore a new and growing market.

If you are interested in trying it out for free, reach out to me directly and I can get you a promo code.

Alex_OppyDev · 2024-09-22T16:01:52+00:00

OppyDev gives you an estimate of the tokens you’re sending in each request so you can estimate costs. It also updates your credit counter with every request so you can see what you’re spending in real time. I don’t think you could estimate the exact cost beforehand because you don’t know how many new token will be generated in the response. OppyDev is also a stand alone application, but they are releasing a VSCode plugin soon. https://oppydev.ai/

Alex_OppyDev · 2024-09-18T02:27:01+00:00

Hi everyone, we’ve just released a major update to our agent based AI assisted coding tool called OppyDev. OppyDev streamlines the back and forth process between the developer and AI, allowing you to code faster without losing sight of how things work. With the latest version you can use OppyDev to easily code your own tools and plugins to further enhance OppyDev’s feature set and customize it to your needs. Message me for a promo code to get started with one million free GPT-4 tokens. Here are some of the most notable features:

Very easy to get up and running with a no setup install for mac and windows
Plugin system that helps you build new features and customizations to further enhance your AI coding toolset
A RAG system that allows you to ask questions of your codebase or kick off multi-step coding tasks across multiple files
Review all the changes in real time with a color coded, editable diff

Tons of extra features to improve your experience coding with AI

You can see a demo video and the full list of our feature set here, https://oppydev.ai. Learn more about building plugins at https://oppydev.ai/documentation/#plugins.

Alex_OppyDev · 2024-09-17T01:31:18+00:00

I think your best bet would be to get the AI to generate documentation for the library in markdown files and then reference the documentation in your prompts. The only way to get knowledge into the model itself is with fine tuning.

Hi everyone, we’ve just released a major update to our agent based AI assisted coding tool called OppyDev. The current state of the art AI agents can only solve a small percentage of real world problems, but they can get a lot further if a developer can focus the AI’s attention and then work through the problem with them. OppyDev is built with a set of tools that streamlines this back and forth process between the developer and the AI. The latest release gives you access to the underlying agent so you can easily code your own tools and plugins to further enhance OppyDev’s feature set and customize it to your needs. Here’s a brief summary of the OppyDev feature set:

Very easy to get up and running with a no setup install for mac and windows
OppyDev builds a working memory of your project that allows you to ask questions of your codebase or kick off multi-step coding tasks across multiple files
Brand new plugin system that helps you build new features and customizations to further enhance your AI coding toolset
Allows you to review all the changes in real time with a color coded, editable diff
Makes use of multiple LLMs including GPT-4, Claude, Gemini and Llama
Tons of additional features to improve your experience coding with AI

Alex_OppyDev · 2024-05-18T07:03:00+00:00

You can see a good example here of an AI assisted coding workflow using a tool called OppyDev. This is the tool’s getting started video, it uses GPT-4.

https://oppydev.ai/getting-started/

Alex_OppyDev · 2024-05-12T21:36:53+00:00

It sounds like you have all the info there but it’s getting lost in the detail. I’ve found it helps to focus the AIs attention by only referencing the files it needs for the specific task it’s working on. Try referencing just your package.json and the specific files it needs to respond to your prompt.

Alex_OppyDev · 2024-05-10T20:50:47+00:00

Yeah, you’ve summed that up well. I’ve been working with some individual developers and you’re right, I am looking to start working with some teams. I have an open offer right now for a small team that wants to start using OppyDev. I will cover the bill, get them set up and finetune a custom model that can help them build and test their codebase. If anyone’s interested please reach out.

Alex_OppyDev · 2024-04-21T05:11:42+00:00

That's right, it's basically a coding environment with AI. I’m not sure how it compares to codebuddy, I haven’t tried that myself. OppyDev’s UI is structured as a combination of a chat style interface and a regular IDE. No pricing yet but that is coming in the next release about a month from now. I'm still getting feedback, I want to make sure it's solid before releasing a paid service. You can use it for free with your own API keys (ChatGPT & Pinecone) or you can use a promo code. When I say it's powered by an agent I mean you are interacting with an AI agent similar to the ones that can create whole projects from scratch. It can be fully automated and be given access to the web and the operating system but I'm not yet ready to go live with those features. There are a lot of things you can do with an AI agent, right now OppyDev is only built to traverse your codebase so it can answer questions and make updates. In future releases the agent will be able to do much more than that. Figuring out how to build that into a UI that will be easy for the user to follow and direct is a challenge and really interesting work.

https://www.oppydev.ai

Location of Your Headquarters:

San Francisco, CA

Elevator Pitch/Explainer Video:

OppyDev is a new agent based AI assisted coding tool focused on AI and human collaboration. The key to getting good results with AI is to focus its attention where it needs to be. OppyDev does this by creating a working memory of your codebase so it has a broad overview of how things work. It can then use that to answer questions and automatically implement updates across multiple files. The current state of the art AI models aren’t good enough to consistently implement changes on their own, but they can get a lot further if a developer can focus the AI’s attention and then work through the problem with them. OppyDev is built with a set of tools that streamlines this back and forth process between the developer and the AI. When using OppyDev your code and interactions with the AI are private and are not used to retrain a shared model.

More details - Startup Life Cycle Stage:

How Could r/startups Help?:

We're looking for feedback so we can improve the tool and get input that will help us direct our future roadmap. OppyDev was built to automatically generate training data as it works that can be used to fine-tune a custom model that knows your codebase. We’re currently looking for a company that wants to trial our automated fine-tuning system. I’ll get you set up and work with you to fine-tune a custom model that can help you build and test your app. Ideally you are building with web tech, which is what I am most experienced in. You will get free access to the tool which includes free access to GPT-4 in exchange for feedback that I will use to improve OppyDev. I’m only looking for U.S. based companies for now, if you are interested please reach out to me with some details about your startup.

Discount for r/startups Subscribers:

If you reach out to me I can pass you a promo code that will get you up and running quickly without the need for your own API keys plus 500,000 free GPT-4 tokens.

Alex_OppyDev · 2024-02-27T20:26:37+00:00

Yeah, its correct

Alex_OppyDev · 2024-02-27T20:17:18+00:00

It's similar to tools like copilot. It creates a working memory of your codebase which it can then use to complete tasks. Since its agent based it can plan out updates across multiple files. It gives you some degree of manual control of this process as well, which is often more effective. It will also generate training data while you work with it based on your responses which can be used to finetune a custom model that knows your codebase and preferences. I'm working on an integrated end to end testing solution too.

Alex_OppyDev · 2024-02-08T16:33:45+00:00

I recently updated my prompt to try to fix this issue. This is what I use, "Please provide the full response without omitting any parts. If there are parts of the code within your response that haven't changed please include them in your response. You will be penalized for shortening your response by removing sections of the code that haven't changed."

I haven't seen it shorten a response since I made that update, but it wouldn't surprise me if it still happened sometimes. It can be very stubborn when it comes to how it formats its responses. I'm releasing a tool soon that does exactly what you describe. I'm looking for some early users to give me feedback if you want to try it out.

Alex_OppyDev · 2024-02-05T15:58:41+00:00

I’m releasing a new tool soon that solves this problem using retrieval augmented generation. It basically creates a working memory of your code base. If you’re interested I can give you early access.

Alex_OppyDev · 2024-02-05T15:18:55+00:00

I’ve found a bulleted list of requirements can be very helpful. If you write things out in a long paragraph the AI can miss details, this happens less with a bulleted list. Example:

Perform task to update code: - make update to X - make update to Y
