Voice powered AI pair programmer so you actually understand the codebase, with personalised feedback to improve your coding.

• 🎤 Voice-Powered Conversations — Talk naturally with your AI pair programmer using ElevenLabs voice technology. Ask questions, request explanations, and get real-time feedback without leaving your editor.

• 👀 Real-Time Code Monitoring — CodeBud silently watches your coding activity, tracking file changes, cursor position, and typing patterns to provide contextually relevant assistance.

• 🚗 Driver/Navigator Modes — Switch between modes to control how the AI interacts with your code:

  • Driver Mode: AI can insert and modify code directly in your editor
  • Navigator Mode: AI provides guidance and suggestions without making changes

• 🔍 Auto-Review on Typing Pause — When you pause typing, CodeBud automatically reviews your recent code changes and offers constructive feedback, catching potential issues early.

• 📊 Insights Panel — AI-powered analytics dashboard that summarizes your coding sessions using Gemini, highlighting common errors, improvement areas, and personalized learning suggestions.

• 💬 Live Transcript — Full conversation history displayed in real-time, so you never lose track of the AI's suggestions and explanations.

• 🔌 VS Code Integration — Seamlessly embedded as a VS Code extension with keyboard shortcuts for quick access.
