Transcript
GPT Pilot builds entire apps without you writing code. This AI developer writes full features, handles debugging, and even asks for code review. You describe the app you want and it creates the files, implements the logic, and tests the implementation. The repository is no longer actively maintained, but the code still works. You can build complete applications by talking to an AI.
