Welcome to HAI Build

HAI Build Code Generator is a cutting-edge VS Code extension designed to simplify and automate task execution while enhancing your development workflow. Built on the powerful foundation of Cline, it leverages AI to streamline processes like task execution, intelligent file identification, and automated code documentation. Unlike simple autocomplete tools, HAI Build thinks like a developer. It analyzes your requests, explores your codebase, and presents clear plans before making changes. You maintain full control with complete transparency into every action.

Context-Aware Code Generation with Experts

HAI Build delivers tailored code generation through domain-specific experts:
  • Built-in Experts: Access predefined guidelines for .NET, Terraform, Node.js, and Go
  • Custom Experts: Create your own experts with custom guidelines and reference documentation
  • Document Integration: Attach up to three reference documents per expert for richer context
Custom experts are stored in the .hai-experts folder with their own metadata and documentation, allowing you to extend HAI’s knowledge with your team’s standards and best practices.

​
Intelligent Development Workflows

Agentic Planning: HAI analyzes your requests, explores your code, and presents clear plans before writing any code. You understand the ‘why’ before any changes are made. Deep Codebase Intelligence: HAI starts with broad context and performs targeted exploration to gain specific understanding. It doesn’t operate in a vacuum—it understands your project structure and architecture. Full Transparency & Control: Review every file read and every proposed diff. Approve changes before they’re applied. Use checkpoints to easily revert if needed.
