The way humans have interacted with computers through code has evolved significantly over the past century. From Ada Lovelace using punched cards on Babbage's Analytical Engine to the advanced IDEs of today, the interfaces for coding have continuously developed. However, a fundamental aspect that remained constant was that these interfaces were designed solely for humans to interact with code.
With the emergence of capable AI systems that can pair program with humans or write code independently, this long-held paradigm is being challenged. And that's where Aide comes in. Aide is an attempt to re-imagine the editor as a place where both humans and AI can collaborate effectively.
Our team, based in London, United Kingdom, brings a diverse range of expertise. Having built testing infrastructure at Meta, payments infrastructure in India, and having experience with AI agents writing business plans, among other things, we are well-equipped to take on this challenge.
Aide is being built to bridge the present and the future. It aims to help developers leverage AI in their current workflows, while also paving the way for what programming with AI might look like in the future. It's not just about having an editor that works with AI, but one that enables a seamless interaction between humans and AI in the coding process.
As the capabilities of AI continue to grow, tools like Aide will become increasingly important. They will allow developers to make the most of AI's potential, whether it's in writing code, debugging, or collaborating on projects. With Aide, the future of programming with AI seems promising, as it offers a new way for developers to work with this powerful technology.
