Codebase-aware AI helper

Develop an IDE plugin that gives AI assistants structured access to project files, reducing hallucinated code.

Why now

AI coding assistants waste tokens rediscovering project structure.

Who for
Professional dev teams
Business model
Monthly subscriptions
Effort
A few months

Developers using AI assistants waste time correcting code that doesn't match their project's architecture and patterns. Current tools lack context about the codebase.

Build a plugin that creates and maintains a searchable index of project structure, common patterns and dependencies. Expose this to AI agents through a local API.

Charge monthly for advanced features like custom pattern recognition and team knowledge sharing. Target professional teams over individual developers.

Begin with simple file tree exposure and common import detection. Expand to understand architectural patterns from existing code.

Challenges include keeping the index current without slowing down the IDE.
