With 1.5 million developers on board, we heard the industry's call loud and clear: It's time for a platform that doesn't just autocomplete but truly understands the development journey. From day one, our mission was laser-focused—becoming the ultimate AI-driven force in software development.
We wanted anyone, whether part of a large team or working solo, to create, refactor, and review code easily, fully leveraging entire repositories and communicating with them almost naturally. Although challenging, this vision led us to create innovative features that have fundamentally transformed the programming landscape.
Our goal from the start was not just to aid developers with autocomplete but to redefine their experience entirely. While tools like Copilot opened the door to AI-assisted coding, we saw the opportunity to create a platform that would fundamentally change how developers interact with their codebases. Our aim was twofold: To enhance efficiency and empower developers to debug intelligently, architect effectively, and collaborate seamlessly.
This involved constructing a platform that deeply integrates into all stages of development, starting from initial brainstorming to final production deployment, and offering the contextual intelligence essential for comprehensive workflow understanding and optimization. By making AI a natural extension of the developer’s toolkit, we’ve transformed what was once a linear process into a dynamic, interactive experience.
One of the most beloved features in our community is CodeBuilder. With just a few commands, CodeGPT generates the complete structure of a project—endpoints, folders, business logic, and essentially everything you need to start without wasting time on manual setups. That tedious ritual of creating files and directories is now just a memory. Several developers have told us that, thanks to CodeBuilder, they’ve dared to launch more projects, confident they can focus from the start on the most creative, innovative aspects of their ideas.
However, one feature that stands out as a game-changer is Graph Knowledge, which transforms how developers interact with their codebases. With it, CodeGPT creates a visual graph showing how the different modules, libraries, and files in a repository connect. Furthermore, it goes beyond mere observation; you can actively engage with your repository as if it were another agent, assigning technologies, seeking explanations for file connections, and requesting refactoring guidance based on the comprehensive view.
This goes beyond what other services offer when they let you “talk” to the codebase. The graph provides a detailed map of your project, perfect for teams handling large volumes of code and needing deep insight into every corner of their architecture.
To support CodeBuilder, Graph Knowledge, and other platform features, we meticulously developed and implemented over 200 specialized agents this year. These technology-specific agents have become invaluable allies: they can collaborate on Python, JavaScript, or Go projects, as well as on more niche frameworks, offering suggestions and fixes tailored to each situation.
We also integrated the latest AI models, such as Llama 3.3, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, GPT-4o, and several OpenAI variations. Each new model added to our Marketplace expands the range of possibilities, whether for real-time debugging, generating documentation, or optimizing database queries. This creates an expansive AI ecosystem where the community can explore, experiment, and innovate.
One of our main goals has been to deliver a fully integrated experience. That’s why we kept improving our Visual Studio Code extension and brought CodeGPT to JetBrains and Chrome. And there’s more: directly from your IDE, you can connect to Stack Overflow for immediate help or run Python scripts with Code Interpreter without changing windows. This rapid-response capability translates into pure productivity: less time jumping between tools and more time focused on the real problem you want to solve.
There’s also an element of coordination and visibility that we’ve strengthened:
Automated CodeReview: With the right setup, a specialized agent scans commits, flags potential issues, and quickly alerts the team.
Integrations with Slack and Discord: Every update or error detection can appear immediately in a real-time communication channel, making it much easier to keep everyone aligned and respond quickly to any hiccups.
Commit Control: Not only can you see which code changed, but also how it impacts the entire base. Combined with Graph Knowledge, understanding the scope of each change is far more intuitive.
We firmly believe in the power of community and how idea exchange can spur innovation. That’s why we organized and participated in hackathons with Mistral AI and Gurusup two key partners who share our vision of democratizing AI. As if that weren’t enough, we also joined the global Meta AI hackathon with Yama, where CodeGPT played a central role in orchestrating massive repositories and providing real-time support to the participants.
The stories from those marathon sessions are countless, from students building applications from scratch in just 48 hours to corporate teams discovering new ways to integrate agents into their CI/CD pipelines. Best of all, when it was over, many took home not just the prize but the realization that coding can be more dynamic and collaborative.
The journey through 2024 was marked by significant challenges, including introducing new models, addressing compatibility issues, and refining latency, which tested CodeGPT's resilience and problem-solving abilities. Coding with Graph Knowledge required rethinking how we index and map each repository’s data. We relied heavily on invaluable community support to report bugs, suggest improvements, and propose solutions.
These experiences taught us that innovation demands willpower and an eagerness to listen to users. In practice, each new feature results from countless hours of feedback from developers who rely on CodeGPT to face real-world problems.
As 2024 draws to a close, we are eagerly preparing for 2025, filled with exciting plans to refine Graph Knowledge, introduce new agents for emerging frameworks, enhance cloud service integration, and continue fostering our community's growth. For us, artificial intelligence isn’t an end but a means to make software development more creative, faster, and—why not?—more enjoyable.
Reflecting on accomplishments like CodeBuilder, Graph Knowledge, and global hackathons, we feel confident in our direction. Every success story we hear confirms that the community is ready for an AI-driven development where bold ideas flow unhindered by barriers or red tape.
If you haven’t tried CodeGPT, we invite you to join this adventure. We aim to make coding an inspiring journey, sparking passion and creativity with every line of code. And thanks to artificial intelligence and the magic of specialized agents, we’re getting closer every day to making that dream a reality.
