TL;DR
Pythagora is not a coding assistant or an autocomplete. It’s a true AI developer that takes your requirements, asks you questions, considers what technologies to use, and creates the development plan. Then, it breaks the plan into tasks, writes code, reads the CLI, fixes bugs, iterates, reviews the code, and asks you questions to make sure it’s on the right track.
❌ The Problem
There’s a huge demand for software development, which is expensive. On the other hand, there are LLMs that are extremely good at writing code. They can write code snippets like a senior developer but if you ask them to build the full app, it will do a worse job than a junior developer. This is because building production-ready apps is not only writing code. It’s writing code, running it, debugging, iterating, changing requirements, refactoring, and many other mechanisms that developers do every day.
While LLMs are getting smarter every single day, they will always be answering machines—they won’t have the mechanics that allow humans to iteratively progress on building an app.
The good thing is that all these mechanisms are deterministic and repetitive.
🌟 Pythagora's Solution
Pythagora is a blueprint of what app development looks like. First, it takes your requirements and asks you questions to clarify how you want your app to look. Then, it thinks about what technologies should be used for your specific app and creates the development plan. Then, it breaks the plan into tasks, writes code, reads the CLI, fixes bugs, iterates, reviews the code, and refactors it. Before making each commit, it asks you questions to make sure that the app works exactly as you want. Finally, it proceeds this way to the next task until the entire app is finished.
Many AI copilots help developers write code faster, but Pythagora goes beyond the current developer experience — they’re reimagining how software development is done.
