AI Developer powered by GPT-4-Turbo & OpenAI's AI Assistant API

e2b logo

AI Developer is an AI agent powered by OpenAI Assistant API that's using custom E2B Sandbox


The AI developer is an AI agent that perform user's tasks in the user's GitHub repository including:

  • reading files
  • writing code
  • making pull requests
  • pulling GitHub repository
  • responding to the user's feedback to the agent's previous work.
  • running commands in the generated environment

All agent's work is happening inside the E2B sandbox.

The E2B's sandboxes are isolated cloud environments made specifically for AI apps and agents. Inside the sandbox AI agents perform long-running tasks, run code in a secure cloud environment, and use the same tools as a human developer would use.

  • Pull GitHub repository
  • Read files
  • Make needed changes
  • Commit work
  • Create a pull request
  • Run commands in the generated environment

The custom E2B sandbox environment is defined in the e2b.Dockerfile
