Codespell AI Coding Assistant & Design Studio is an AI-powered development assistant integrated into your IDE that accelerates the entire software development lifecycle. It combines AI code generation, documentation, error fixing, API scaffolding, automated tests, and infrastructure scripting with a design-first Studio to automate construction from design to deployment. It aims to reduce manual coding effort by 30-50%, enabling faster concept-to-production delivery.
Key Capabilities
- AI Code Generation: generate code across languages and stacks directly inside popular IDEs.
- Documentation & Clarity: automatically document code, explain logic, and improve structure.
- Error Fixing & Refactoring: identify, fix, and optimize issues and improve code quality.
- API & Test Automation: scaffold CRUD APIs, generate API tests, and streamline testing workflows.
- Infrastructure as Code: generate IaC scripts (Terraform for AWS, with Google/Azure support forthcoming).
- Auto-generated scaffolding: bootstraps APIs and infrastructure tailored to your stack.
- Design Studio: a project-building environment within Codespell that supports from design to code, enabling end-to-end automation of the development lifecycle.
- IDE & Stack Compatibility: designed to fit into existing workflows and compatible with Dot Net, Eclipse, Java, JetBrains, Node.js, PHP, VS Code, and Visual Studio.
- Frontend Integration: Figma-to-Angular/React code generation (upcoming).
How It Works
- Install and integrate with your preferred IDE (supports VS Code, Visual Studio, IntelliJ, Eclipse, and more).
- Use the Design Studio to lay out project structure, database schemas, API design, and IaC requirements.
- Let Codespell generate scaffolding, APIs, tests, and infrastructure scripts tailored to your stack.
- Iterate with AI-driven explanations, documentation, and code cleanups to maintain quality and consistency.
Use Cases
- Speed up API development with automated CRUD generation and API tests.
- Automate infrastructure setup and configuration as code.
- Enhance code quality with automatic documentation and structure improvements.
- Reduce boilerplate and repetitive setup tasks to focus on product-building.
Security & Data Handling
- Codespell stores design artifacts, API testing docs, and IaC configurations as part of the Design Studio.
- Data at rest is AES-256 encrypted.
Supported Languages & IDEs
