CodeBot for Managers and Purchasers
CodeBot is ideal for teams with real-world Delphi codebases: years of code, often legacy, heavily based around forms, and with common Delphi issues like lack of form/data separation, lack of new Delphi devs, etc. Our goal is to help your business succeed both by providing an AI that is not generic, but knows Delphi the way we and your team does.
And is one that can help solve your other business problems, like onboarding and helping new devs learn both Delphi and your codebase.
CodeBot has been built by people who know AI, plus know Delphi, plus know business problems. We know Delphi's use, its issues, we know how to solve them, and we know the same for AI. This means we can help your business with AI adoption, and we can help your business be successful with AI adoption, especially when you rely on a Delphi codebase.
Using CodeBot can also help other problems:
-
keep a legacy Delphi codebase maintained;
-
ensure code your business relies on stays functional and up to date;
-
get new developers who don't know Delphi able to work with your code;
-
keep your codebase one your business can rely on, either internally or when under third party / diligence scrutiny;
and more. Businesses have real problems that you need solutions to, and CodeBot can help.
Why CodeBot
CodeBot is built specifically for Delphi. It can reliably (in direct contrast to other AIs) work with VCL and FMX forms. It's been taught Delphi and knows it the way we do, and we're highly experienced with the tech: we're bringing our expertise to assist your team. It is inside Delphi -- because many Delphi devs are comfortable with the IDE and have used it for years; if you want your team to adopt AI, bring it to where they are, don't bring them to something entirely new and different. It is integrated, not just a chat pane: if your devs use Delphi, it will work smoothly with their existing way of working.
And of course it is a fully functional and highly powerful coding agent: it can write code, design UI, explain code and problems, find bugs, provide solid and intelligent advice, and carry out long pieces of work with Autopilot.
Specific problems with other AI agents with Delphi exist, and have been targeted when we designed CodeBot:
-
They struggle with valid form design, including causing errors that only appear once the app is run - far too late to catch. CodeBot doesn't.
-
They know far more about Python and TypeScript than Delphi's Pascal, and write old-style code -- that means, less reliable code. CodeBot knows modern Delphi, and writes reliable Delphi. Our goal is that when you use CodeBot, your business gets better outcomes than using any other AI.
-
They break workflow. Multiple tools, people task-switch and lose context. Are your devs becoming less efficient the more they try to take on? CodeBot means everything is integrated: one place, one context. Efficient work.
-
They cost for the product plus an additional subscription. Are you faced with buying an AI agent that has no AI, and needs a second subscription as well? CodeBot is what you'd expect: a single product. Avoid multiple approvals.
-
They're not built for the people who might use them. AI is modern and moving fast. A typical Delphi team may have newer devs who chafe at the bit with legacy Delphi practices; it might have devs who've been there decades and don't see the value in new things, or view them as too high risk. Managers might be faced with not knowing how to take the project forward and might try to rewrite (high risk, expensive, can easily fail, as longterm rewrites do.) Diligence might flag the code as a risk. Whatever your situation is: CodeBot meets your people where they are, and gives your business options going forward.
We have enterprise-grade privacy and data assurance meaning you can send CodeBot to your Legal and Approvals teams. Any questions, contact us.
What to Tell Your Team
We have specific practices we recommend that will help your team be successful and achieve more with CodeBot than other AIs. Once you decide to use CodeBot, ask your developers to:
-
Start with Using CodeBot on a Team. This is how to take full advantage of a whole team using CodeBot.
-
Ask cautious developers to read Adopting CodeBot Safely. Some devs are AI skeptics, or worry about its quality. That's fair! This is how to get started feeling safe about your code, and in a way that lets a developer stay in control.
-
Follow our Best Practices; point your devs at Common Workflows and the Prompt Cookbook.
