The GPT Pilot repository describes an AI software development tool for software projects.
Clippy
Clippinator is an AI programming assistant that can optionally use search when configured with a SerpAPI key.
About Clippy
Clippinator, formerly known as Clippy, is a code assistant that develops code for or with the user. It uses a main Taskmaster agent based on GPT-4 to delegate work to specialized subagents such as Architect, Writer, Frontender, Editor, QA, and Devops for planning, writing, debugging, and testing.
It runs from the command line on a project path and requires Poetry, an OpenAI API key, plus ctags and pylint tooling, with an optional SerpAPI key for search. It can work autonomously on some projects but can make mistakes, needs human feedback on harder tasks, and long runs can be expensive in OpenAI API usage.
Key features
- Plans project structure then writes, debugs and tests code
- Delegates tasks from Taskmaster to specialized subagents
- Writes files and runs bash and Python commands
- Tests web pages with Selenium browser automation
- Uses ctags project structure and pylint output for context
- Resumes from last saved state after stopping
Best for: Developers comfortable with command-line setup who want agent-based help planning and writing code.
Good for

- Can continue from last saved state after interruption
Watch out for
- Can often make mistakes and requires human review and feedback
- Long GPT-4 runs are described as quite expensive in OpenAI API usage
