examples
feedback at each step, examples
revert your last change, bring back the commented code, remove the try-catch, let's move this function into a separate file, the variable x should be called y instead
devity will lookup codefiles, implement the steps and give you a summary at the end
you can paste sections of documentations or stackoverflow answers in your tasks and feedback

How it works
Devity is an AI agent with access to the local codebase. Software developers have a conversation with Devity, just like with a colleague in real life, while Devity implements new features and bug fixes with human feedback.
Overview of the codebase
Devity is the only coding agent that has an overview of the entire code project and can identify relevant files and parts of code that need to be modified by itself.
Direct code changes
Devity performs code changes on its own. The software developer can provide feedback and change requests after each step until the desired goal is achieved.
Devity is able to run commands and interpret their results. Run complex commands just by describing what you want to do and have Devity summarize and interpret the output.
Command execution
From refactoring tasks to testsuite maintenance or Infrastructure-as-Code: Devity accelerates all aspects of the development cycle.
Multiply your progress
Software companies can reduce the time-to-market for new products or features to a fraction or drastically increase the number of realizable projects in the same time frame.
With Devity, each developer receives a highly capable senior pair programming partner proficient in all programming languages and frameworks.
Developers use Devity for most of their development time and achieve multiple times the daily progress they would under normal conditions.
Devity has shortened our development times enormously. We now implement features in days instead of weeks. An indispensable partner for every development team!

Until now I've simply used ChatGPT, but I've always had to copy isolated code snippets back and forth. Devity is not only able to capture the context, but also finds the relevant code faster than me.
