Technical implementation

Intelligent File Discovery

Multi-stage AI workflow identifies relevant files for your plan-mode

  • Root folder selection based on task
  • Targeted regex pattern groups
  • LLM analyzes actual file contents
  • Automatic dependency detection
  • Files organized into XML for LLM consumption

Multi-Model Planning

Generate multiple implementation approaches using different AI models, then synthesize the best solution

  • OpenAI GPT‑5 family (GPT‑5 and GPT‑5 Thinking/Pro), historical o‑series (e.g., o3 variants); Anthropic Claude Sonnet 4 and Opus 4.1; Google Gemini 2.5 Pro - availability and features vary by plan and endpoint (ChatGPT vs API).
  • AI architect merges best insights
  • Your guidance shapes the merge

Use official vendor docs to confirm features like streaming, function calling, and background mode for each model.
