The Problem We Solved 🎯
We built Compyle because we were tired of "autonomous" coding agents that:
- Disappear for 20 minutes and come back with the wrong solution
- Write 2,000 lines of code you don't understand
- Make countless assumptions without asking
- Force you to debug and refactor their decisions
Our Different Approach 🤝
While other agents chase maximum autonomy, we believe the future is collaborative AI. Compyle works WITH you, not for you:
✅ Asks first, builds second - No more unwanted surprises
✅ You make decisions, we handle execution - Stay in control
✅ Understand everything - Because you guided every decision
✅ Planning artifacts - See the roadmap before a single line is written
✅ Proactive collaboration - We ask questions so you don't have to prompt-engineer fixes
What's New 🚀
- Multi-model support: Choose between GLM 4.6, Claude Sonnet 4.5, and Claude Haiku 4.5
- Smarter question flows: Only asks what matters
- Better at complex, open-ended work: From new features to entire products
Who It's For 💡
- Developers tired of black-box code generation
- Founders who need to understand what they're building
- Teams who value maintainable, debuggable code
- Anyone who's ever spent an hour fixing what an AI built in 5 minutes

@jonathan_miranda1 This addresses a real pain point in AI coding—the black box problem. The vision of keeping developers "in the driver's seat" with question-driven collaboration rather than autonomous chaos is exactly what the industry needs. Avoiding those wasteful 20-minute builds that do the wrong thing is a game-changer for productivity. The planning artifacts approach with clarifying questions shows maturity in understanding how complex, open-ended work actually happens. This could fundamentally shift how teams integrate AI into their development workflow—not replacing judgment, but augmenting it intelligently.
This actually sounds like it might solve a lot of the current issues agents have. Though I'm wondering, Claude Code and recently OpenAI's Codex already do similar things, where they ask questions for stuff that wasn't explained properly and also write documentation on the side. It seems like your tool does pretty much the same thing, maybe with a couple more questions, but what other differentiations would there be between your product and the aforementioned products?
Great idea start though. Also, do you plan on integrating somehow with IDEs like VS Code?
Hey Jonathan, quick one how steep is the learning curve for someone coming from classic fire-and-forget AI agents?
This is one of the best ideas I have ever seen for building apps with AI. Yes, the issue is that we are losing control, and we need to regain it in order to create meaningful apps with AI. Good job! Will try this tool
This proactive approach seems impressive - how many rounds of questions could Compyle collect before finalize? Congrats @jonathan_miranda1 !
As a software engineer, I genuinely love this tool. The planning workflow and the questions it surfaces are spot-on. Any time I was stuck tracking down why a build was failing, it analyzed the issue and helped me resolve it quickly. Really well done. Excited to see where you take this next—congrats on the launch!
Hey, I really like this project. It honestly feels like working with a skilled teammate who’s right there with me.
The agent asks thoughtful questions, confirms details before acting, and helps me refine my ideas as I build — which I really enjoy.
Its task-based workflow — where each task creates its own branch and PR — makes collaboration effortless and keeps my Git history much cleaner.
I also appreciate how responsive the team is and how quickly they address any issues.
The UI is sleek, the automation feels reliable, and I’m excited for future updates like live preview and in-app code editing. Overall, a solid product with a ton of potential.

Who hunted Compyle?
Compyle was hunted by Jonathan Miranda. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community. See the full all-time top hunters leaderboard to discover who is shaping the Product Hunt ecosystem.
