Show HN: gpt-engineer - platform for devs to tinker with AI
programming tools
Hello Hacker News community, Wanted to share a project I started
working on during my spare time and was then discovered by many in
the open source community last week. GPT Engineer's mission: Be
the open platform for devs to tinker with and build their personal
code-generation toolbox. I believe it's key for us devs to engage
in how building software can and will change. You can find more
info about the flexible technical "philosophy" to make it work
well, and the community we want it to become on github:
https://github.com/AntonOsika/gpt-engineer The project is still in
early stages. It's clear that there is a lot of room for
improvement as the space to combine tricks that guide LLM's is
large. Appreciate any suggestions, experiences, or ideas on the
project from you all!

| etc. But you really only do that "once" per project.

| it be used to work on a pre-existing codebase?

|
| Fully automatic can be evaluated fully automatically.
|
| Good input.

|
| On the topic of "AI-generated PRs", I used my tool to file a
| PR to the `glow` CLI tool. I don't know the go language, so I
| had my tool `aider` add the feature I needed. I mostly use
| glow to preview README.md for GitHub, so I wanted it to
| render line breaks like GitHub does.

|
| I've also been able solve a couple of github issues that were
| file by users by just pasting the issue into my tool... it
| fixed itself. Links below:

| Love this!

| I've been iterating on a similar project, Talk-to-Repo.
|
| It uses retrieval-augmented-generation to access the
| relevant parts of the code, and lets you chat and collect
| which code pieces you want.
|
| Got stuck at generating good diffs, I'll be sure to look at
| how you've done it!
|
| btw i started my project by turning another project,
| "Twitter explainer", on itself. It loaded its own code, i
| asked it to add new features and copy-pasted the results
| (with some tweaking and occasional trips to phind.com )...

| I love the fact that it's Open-Source!
