Rather than another code-generation tool, the project uses a multi-agent approach where specialized agents handle code review, architecture analysis, and refactoring suggestions. Key design choices include using Ollama for local LLM inference to address enterprise privacy and cost concerns, RAG with PostgreSQL vector search to give agents meaningful codebase context, and a human-in-the-loop workflow where AI recommends but engineers decide. The current stack includes Python, Microsoft Agent Framework, FastAPI, and Git integration. This is part one of an ongoing series. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
