Aide by CodeStory is a next-generation code editor and development environment designed to enable seamless collaboration between developers and AI. It aims to reimagine the editor as a joint workspace where humans and AI can work together to write, search, organize, navigate, debug, run, and collaborate on code. Built by a small London-based team with strong backgrounds in large-scale testing, payments infrastructure, AI agents, and open source contributions, Aide focuses on leveraging AI within developers' workflows today while shaping how AI-assisted programming might evolve in the future.
Overview
- A new paradigm for programming that bridges present capabilities with future possibilities of AI-assisted software development.
- An editor designed to facilitate effective AI collaboration, enabling both human and AI inputs to contribute to the coding process.
- Emphasis on practical integration of AI into everyday development tasks, not just experimental features.
How It Works
- AI-assisted workflow integration. The editor incorporates AI to assist with coding tasks, enabling developers to pair program with AI or have AI generate code as needed.
- Human-AI collaboration. The tool envisions a joint workspace where AI helps augment human intent, improving productivity and exploration without replacing human decision-making.
- Future-ready design. Built to evolve as AI capabilities advance, preparing teams to adopt more sophisticated AI-assisted workflows over time.
Team & Background
- Based in London, UK. A four-person team with experience in large-scale testing (Meta), payments infrastructure, AI agents crafting business plans, and competitive programming heritage (ACM ICPC).
- Open Source contributions (gRPC) and experience across design and developer tools.
How to Use Aide
- Get started by installing or loading the editor designed to integrate AI-assisted features into your existing development setup.
- Use AI helpers to generate, refactor, and explain code; leverage AI to navigate and organize large codebases; collaborate in real-time within the editor.
- Continuously adapt workflows as AI capabilities grow, aligning with team processes and coding standards.
Safety and Considerations
- Designed to augment human coding, not replace human oversight.
- Teams should review AI-generated code for correctness, security, and compliance within their project context.
