Astra

Creator2025

An intelligent assistant that understands context and helps you build faster.

The Story

Traditional IDE assistants lacked genuine project context. I built Astra to be an AI that doesn't just autocomplete code, but understands the architecture of the entire repository. It was an exercise in deeply integrating LLMs with local file systems and developer intent.

What I Learned

Astra pushed me deep into the world of Abstract Syntax Trees (ASTs) and vector embeddings. I learned how to chunk codebases semantically, manage context windows efficiently, and design an LLM architecture that feels snappy and local rather than sluggish and remote.
