AI summary

Benzi is a coding AI assistant designed to avoid directly reading source code by supplying deterministic intelligence via tool calls. It informs the AI model of the blast radius before and after code edits and performs static analysis. Users can test Benzi's code comprehension live by pasting any public GitHub repository link into its web demo at https://benzi.fly.dev/. Benzi is also available as a VS Code extension harness, and its GitHub repository is https://github.com/oooscoos/Benzi.

Benzi is a coding AI assistant/harness built from the ground up to AVOID reading source code in the first place. It supplies the artificial intelligence model deterministic intelligence via tool calls. For example, when a model is about to make a code change, it could query "what functions feed this one?" -- half the time it isn't even necessary because the Benzi compiler already informs it of the blast radius before and after making edits, along with a complete static analysis check.

More hands-on though, Benzi's code comprehension is testable live within 10s. Paste any public github repo link here: https://benzi.fly.dev/ (ofc, ur own repos are welcome) and watch it perform an autopsy report live. If you would like to learn more, please checkout & star on github: https://github.com/oooscoos/Benzi. Benzi is currently available only as a VS Code ext. harness and the web demo.
