Hi. I built an AI coding tool that bypass this problem by allowing human to select the relevant code context instead of passing the entire codebase or using RAG, which has problems with precision and recall.

It takes a bit of effort but the result is much better.

That’s an interesting approach and I can see it working, at least working better than the default. It’ll at least work as a stop gap, till there’s a better option. Good luck!!

Also, some unsolicited advice if I may, your pricing is a little wonky, you may want to rethink that. I hate subscription pricing where it doesn’t make sense, but in this case subscription is a better option. Also, your team pricing should be per seat, perhaps with some tiers.

I like to know who is behind a tool, in your case that info requires several clicks. Also, use a more pleasant palette.

Edit: you should do a ShowHN..

Thanks for the suggestions.

The app is currently on lifetime license without the need of an account, so it is quite tricky to implement subscription without overhauling the entire app and workflow. I am going to raise price to match the expected LTV of a user multiplied by a discount factor.

For the landing page suggestions, I will see what I can do to put more personal touch, for now it is meant to look authoratative and professional.
