Firebender is a game-changer for Android developers! With AI-powered assistance directly in Android Studio, it simplifies codebase navigation, log analysis, and quick edits, making development faster and smarter. Excited to see how it enhances productivity!
@ezoulemma yep now you can use AI and 10x with one click. thanks for the support Ezana!!!
@jordan_dearsley Learned from the best enterprise salesman east of the pacific ocean
Wow, @amangotchu, Firebender sounds like a groundbreaking step forward for Android developers!
It's clear that you and Kevin have tapped into a much-needed space for AI-powered tools tailored specifically for Android Studio. The fact that Firebender offers real-time, contextual assistance while respecting user privacy is genuinely impressive. It's refreshing to see a tool that not only understands the unique challenges Android devs face but also actively addresses them with up-to-date knowledge and intelligent code suggestions. Looking forward to seeing how Firebender evolves and makes Android development more efficient and enjoyable.
Kudos to you both for pivoting so effectively and creating something that truly empowers developers!
Just picked up Android after 5+ years, and Firebender is the only reason I was able to deploy a basic crud app in 2 hours :) well done @kevo1ution @amangotchu looking forward to see what's next
@amangotchu @sarthak_srinivas Thats awesome! really happy the tool was useful for you
@illiana_reed time to learn how to build android apps and jetpack compose multiplatform ;) but yeah building for android developers is way more fun for us. wouldn't be surprised to see something like this coming out for XCode in the future
Congrats on the launch, @amangotchu ! It's exciting to see a solution focused on Android developers, especially one that prioritizes privacy.
@djordjevic_nikola A majority of Android users work at companies that are privacy-sensitive so this was a no brainer for us!
Congrats on the launch, guys! Building for Android can be such a slog - Firebender is much needed and such a well-crafted experience already.
This launch sounds like an exciting leap forward for Android developers. Congratulations!
I love the focus on contextual understanding of code, logs, and even the emulator, so practical! How does Firebender handle more complex debugging tasks?
@jackielinecosares Debugging is an important, open research problem in the AI coding assistant space! We currently are limited by how well the base model can fix a problem with a human in the loop, but we're working on improvements!
@amangotchu Do you think about any platform risks? What if Google implements this as a feature in Android Studio? I know that big corporations are slow to implement features.
@dhaouadi_kassem While the risk is real that's the game we're willing to play. Google has failed to push a usable version Gemini assistant in Android Studio for almost 2 years and we were able to build a better experience in only a few weeks.
We have ideas around building a new AI mobile development IDE forked from Android Studio to remove some of this platform risk as well.
@dhaouadi_kassem @amangotchu basically what amans saying is gemini is shit, and they have bigger problems to worry about (e.g. openai chatgpt beating search)
Firebender seems like a major time-saver for Android developers! Awesome!
I love the idea of AI-powered code insights and automated debugging directly within Android Studio.
How well does the log analyzer work with large projects, and can it handle complex errors efficiently?
It's nice to see a tool that cares about user security while providing powerful features.
