ByteAsk

AI coding agent for C and C++ that runs in the terminal: it writes a change, builds it, runs sanitizers and tests, and can join an open gdb session, so the developer reviews a diff that already compiles and passes; backed by its own models trained against compilers and test suites, with enterprise on-premises and air-gapped deployment.
