Hey Product Hunt! Aman here, co-founder of Firebender (YC W24) with Kevin. We're extremely excited to launch Firebender, but our journey here took an unexpected turn.
A few months ago, we were developing Firebender OS, an AI-powered fork of Android. Inspired by the failed launches of Humane Pin and Rabbit R1, we aimed to build better functionality by focusing on AI software and leveraging existing superior hardware. We rooted Pixel 8s and created an AI assistant activated by holding the power button. It automated tasks like drafting calendar invites and messages, opening relevant transportation apps based on location and schedule, and overriding the Google Gemini assistant with the best AI models.
Despite using it every day, we didn't LOVE the product, which led us to consider a new direction.
Throughout this process, we constantly struggled without a good AI coding assistant for Android development. We discovered that Android developers are often overlooked regarding AI-powered development tools. This became clear as we heard from frustrated devs about existing tools:
"GPT4 and Claude were clueless about the Android UI framework we use." - Senior Staff Android Eng at Airbnb
"Gemini and Copilot are comically bad. I never use them" - Android Tech Lead at GoodRx
This revealed a clear opportunity, so we pivoted to Firebender, the most powerful AI coding assistant for Android developers.
Firebender offers:
🚀 Lightning-fast assistance right in Android Studio
💡 Up-to-date Android knowledge
🗨️ Contextual understanding of your codebase, logs, and emulator
✏️ Intelligent code suggestions and modifications
And the best part? It's free and privacy-first - we don't log, store, or persist your code.
