AutoCode - AI-Powered Software Development Assistant is an AI-driven platform that automatically bootstrap software projects by transforming README.md instructions into a functional codebase. It reads your documentation and existing source code, uses state-of-the-art AI models to generate code structure, files, and content, and organizes the project for rapid development across multiple languages and environments. It includes an easy-to-use CLI, cross-platform compatibility, and a suite of agents to manage development, testing, deployment, and even marketing tasks.
How to Use AutoCode
- Create a CLAUDE_KEY or GEMINI_KEY environment variable with your API key.
- Open a terminal and navigate to your project folder.
- Run:
npx autocode-ai
- AutoCode reads your README.md and existing source code, interprets instructions via Gemini Pro 2.5 API (or other supported models), and generates the necessary code structure, files, and content.
- Iterate as needed using the integrated agents (Project Manager, DevOps, Internationalization, etc.).
For detailed guidance, consult the User Manual.
Core Capabilities
- Automatic Code Generation: Generate code based on README.md instructions using LLMs.
- Multi-Language Support: JavaScript, Python, C#, Java, Ruby, Go, Rust, PHP, Dart and Swift (plus Kotlin).
- Incremental Building: Build projects incrementally with intelligent analysis and refactoring suggestions.
- Automated Documentation: Generate comprehensive project documentation automatically.
- User-Friendly Interface: Command-line interface for seamless project management.
- Landing Page Generator: Create visually appealing landing pages for your project.
- Cross-Platform Support: Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
- Advanced AI Models: Gemini Pro 2.5, o3-mini, Claude Sonnet, Claude 3.5/3.7, and more.
How It Works
- Create environment keys for API access and run
npx autocode-ai in your project directory.
- AutoCode reads README.md and existing code, leverages the selected AI model to generate the codebase, and scaffolds files and content according to your instructions.
- A suite of AI Agents Assist with testing, UI checks, deployment, localization, marketing, and product management.
AI Agents Overview
- Tester Agent: Writes integration tests for endpoints.
- Project Manager Agent: Orchestrates agents, builds the app, runs tests, basic UI checks.
