Is this similar to Devin (https://github.com/OpenDevin/OpenDevin https://github.com/OpenDevin/OpenDevin)?
- semanser 3y ago
  yes, it is mentioned in the readme that Devin was one of the inspirations for this project.

doesn't seem to work as per readme instructions.

Have you eval'd SWEbench yet?
- semanser 3y ago
  Not yet, but it's definitely in the short term plans.

This looks fantastic! Thanks for building. Given that single projects are not that large, is there a reason you chose Postgres? I imagine using sqlite would reduce the installation complexity of the solution.
- semanser 3y ago
  Thanks! The project is using gorm (gorm.io) so it should be easy to be able to support sqlite as well since all the queries should be db agnostic. I want to make installation/usage as easy as possible so wrapping everything into a docker container and/or using another DB is an option for sure. I will check what is possible to do :)

I am having trouble getting it to work properly on macOS, I think due to Docker API version mismatch between the Go client and Docker Desktop. I added a comment to one of your existing issues on GH. Happy to connect and help debug. Do you have a Discord server or anything?
- semanser 3y ago
  Interesting. I saw one more person reporting a similar issue so I will prioritize fixing this. I just created a new discord server for everyone who would like to join: https://discord.gg/uMaGSHNjzc https://discord.gg/uMaGSHNjzc

It's not listed in the prerequisites but this requires an openai account. If they are doing all the work, what exactly does the rest of this code do?
- huydotnet 3y ago
  “OpenAI do all the work” is a very wrong claim in this case. It’s true that most of the complexity are solved by using LLM, but it’s not everything. There are still a good amount of work needed to be done if you want to build an agent (or even an AI wrapper, if you’re implying it).

Is it possible to use it with a local model via ollama f.ex?
- semanser 3y ago
  Not yet. I added a ticket to track progress for that: https://github.com/semanser/codel/issues/16 https://github.com/semanser/codel/issues/16.
