We got tired of answers that were not work.
AskCodi began as a coding assistant. It was useful and it was not enough, because a good suggestion still leaves every hard part to you. So we rebuilt it around the thing that actually matters: work that arrives finished, tested, and possible to check.
Assistance stops exactly where the responsibility starts.
The moment a suggestion becomes a change, someone has to own it. They have to know what it touched, whether it works, what it cost, and whether it was allowed. An assistant hands all four back to you. We think a cofounder should answer them before it asks for anything.

What exists today, counted honestly.
Cofounder for the work, a desktop app that runs it on your own machine, and AI Gateway for the model layer underneath.
The tools a run actually needs to reach, not a logo wall.
Documentation kept current by the same product that writes the code.
Three rules we will not trade away.
They constrain the product on purpose. Each one costs us something, and each one is the reason people let AskCodi near a production repository.
The owner decides
Money, scope, irreversible moves and going live are human calls. We will not quietly widen that boundary to make a demo look more impressive.
Evidence before claims
Ready, fixed and live are not adjectives. Each one has to point at a check that passed, or the product should not use the word.
Nothing is locked in
Your code lives in your repository, models stay swappable, and leaving should cost you nothing but the subscription.
AskCodi maintains AskCodi.
The error triage, the documentation upkeep and a good share of the shipping on our own product run through Cofounder. It is the fastest way to find out where the thing is still wrong, and it means the release notes below were written about work we had to review ourselves.
What we are thinking about.
Longer arguments about agent design, model orchestration and where this all goes.
Tell us where we are wrong.
Especially if you own a codebase and think this cannot work on it.
