Pythagora (GPT Pilot)

OSS dev tool that builds entire apps from scratch by talking to you

Pythagora is an open source tool that builds apps from scratch by talking to users. It uses LLMs to automate developer workflows (debugging, refactoring, etc.) and ask user questions whenever it needs feedback. It is an IDE extension built on top of our open-source tool, GPT Pilot, which has over 22k Github stars. You start by describing an app you want to build; then, it asks you questions about the details of the app to write the full app specifications. Once the specs are done, it starts coding. When it finishes a task, it asks you to test the app and tell it if something is incorrect. It iterates with you by changing the code and asking you for feedback until the task is finished. Finally, it commits the code it has written and proceeds to the next task until the entire app is finished.

Active Founders

Zvonimir Sabljić, Founder

I am an engineer and a technology entrepreneur. I cofounded AWW (A Web Whiteboard), which became a major player in the online whiteboard market. AWW had 1.5M MAU, with Apple as our largest customer. In 2021, it was acquired by Miro. I created two successful open source repositories - automated testing repo that got 1.4k Github stars and now, GPT Pilot, which has over 22k stars. Currently, I'm working on bringing software development into the AI age.

Leon Ostrež, Founder

Software engineer, computer scientist (M.Sc.) and entrepreneur. Problem solving and attention to details with big persistence is my passion. I led the tech team at Faze Clan before they went public at $1B valuation and was a key contributor of Plex at Ericsson - the core language that handles 25% of the world's 2G and 3G network communication. I created two successful open source repositories - automated testing repo that got 1.4k Github stars and now, GPT Pilot, which has over 22k stars.

Company Launches

TLDR; Pythagora is a VS Code Extension that writes all the code for the app you want to build and talks to you whenever it needs a creative decision or feedback. It is focused on building production-ready apps that you can deploy and use, so to achieve that, it keeps you, the human, in the loop throughout the entire development process. Pythagora manages the entire codebase and talks to you in natural language.

🤨 Problem

Today, new AI dev tools come out almost weekly. While many showcase impressive demos, very few prove their worth in building real-world, production-level applications. We think that this is because they don’t put the human in the loop enough. There is a notion that apps can be built just by writing 2 sentences of what kind of an app you want, and then you just wait until AI comes back with a fully built application.

We believe that humans have to be involved in the entire process of app development to give timely feedback so that AI can make changes as it works on specific features.

💡 solution

Pythagora talks to the user throughout the entire development process. First, it creates a plan for building the entire application. Then, it goes task by task, implementing each one, but before going on to the next one, it asks the user to test whether it’s working as intended. We noticed that very often, Pythagora implements a feature correctly, but users, once they see how a feature works, decide they want it to work differently.

🙏 Ask

If you know a company that’s looking to build internal tools, please connect us. I’d be happy to give them access to Pythagora v1 and do a demo.

Hear from the founders

How did your company get started? (i.e., How did the founders meet? How did you come up with the idea? How did you decide to be a founder?)

Senko and Zvonimir met at a startup event in 2016. when Senko was looking for someone who would lead a side project that he started. Zvonimir accepted the challenge, we turned that project into a company, and 5 years later, in 2021., we sold the company to Miro.Leon and Zvonimir have been best friends since starting college in 2009. and after the Miro acquisition, we started learning ML together and playing with different ideas. In 2023. we created our first open-source project for generating automated tests with AI and it quickly gained 1.4k Github stars. After talking to users and observing how AI is evolving, we decided to pivot to GPT Pilot, which became one of the fastest-growing open-source projects ever.While we worked on the GPT Pilot, Senko was exploring a similar idea, so finally, in October 2023. we decided to join forces and build Pythagora together.
