CodeStory

CodeStory, formerly known as codestory, operates from London, England, and offers remote services across the United Kingdom and Europe. The company, which is part of the Y-Combinator S23 batch, specializes in the B2B sector, focusing specifically on engineering, product, and design within the B2B industry. With a team size of two, CodeStory has developed Aide, an AI-powered modification of VSCode. Aide enables developers to use AI agents to build software, handling complex tasks such as editing across multiple files, searching, debugging, refactoring, and more. It supports a seamless migration from VSCode, allowing users to continue using their preferred extensions. Aide is designed to understand both new and existing codebases, with capabilities to scan, navigate, edit, and verify code effectively. Key features of Aide include keyboard shortcut access to the AI agent, prompt examples for creating powerful workflows, NLP-based search, and AI-generated summaries of work. The software currently supports programming languages like TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, and Go, with plans to include more languages in the future. Recent updates in the changelog highlight stabilized semantic search, native editor integration for semantic search, improved editing of long files, initial support for the Go language, new chat functionalities with slash commands, and enhanced support for TypeScript, JavaScript, and Python for repository-wide changes. CodeStory’s manifesto underscores its mission to empower developers to achieve new levels of creativity and productivity by developing tools that refocus on the joy of building and creating.
