ByteAsk

ActiveAI-native

The AI coding agent for C and C++

What it does

ByteAsk is an AI coding agent built for C and C++, the code that runs trading systems, cars, chips, and operating systems. It does not stop at a diff that looks right. ByteAsk builds, debugs, and tests every change with the real toolchain until the change holds. If the compiler, the debugger, or the tests can catch it, then ByteAsk catches it too. It runs from the terminal or inside VS Code, Neovim, and Emacs, and is available fully on-prem.

ByteAsk. The AI coding agent for C and C++ that verifies its own work

ByteAsk edits your repo from the terminal, then drives the sanitizers, the debugger, and your test suite before you see a diff. Built-in support for LLVM, GCC, gdb, Valgrind, CMake, and more.
