What it does

AI coding agents generate code fast, but large applications quickly become hard to maintain. AICode is a VSCode extension powered by ChatGPT and built around a controlled AI development methodology: Ideate → Specify → Refine → Code → Verify. It prioritizes architecture and review before generation. It is slower than autonomous agents, but far faster than coding without an AI and produces structured, maintainable software built for real long-term projects.

AICode is a VS Code extension and AI coding assistant that checks the code before it is generated. One developer does the work of 10 to 200.

AICode is a spec-driven, offline-first AI coding assistant and VS Code extension that uses a local 5D index to enforce control before code generation. Conventional AI coding agents write code fast, but the code they produce is low quality, so the bottleneck becomes the human code review that follows. That leaves the real gain anywhere between zero and 4x. AICode moves control before the code is generated, not after. Reviewing and fixing an intent is far easier than reviewing and fixing code. Real example: 189 files changed in a 717,000-line codebase, in 3 days, 201 errors caught. ↗ Case study AICode understands your codebase in depth, even if it is poorly documented, through a…from ai-code.ai

  • Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
