Flytrap

Automatic bug fixing in VS Code via AI extension

About

Flytrap is a VS Code extension that uses an AI agent to automatically resolve bugs directly within your editor. Users describe the bug in natural language, and Flytrap takes over by writing, testing, and verifying the required code fixes. It operates on a mirrored version of your repository, which ensures the main codebase remains uninterrupted while potential solutions are tested. Once a viable fix is confirmed, Flytrap presents it to the user for approval. This tool is specifically designed to streamline the debugging process, making it easier and faster for developers to address issues in their code without stepping away from their development environment.
