Inspiration
I often use my text editor for journaling, outlining stray story ideas, writing poetry in addition to coding. I wanted an AI companion who could accompany me for each of these modes of creation, who could look at what I was looking at, comment and make contributions without rigid rules. I also wanted the ability to synchronize project and conversation history to rollback or branch as I saw fit. Claude is uniquely suited with its large context size for processing through a full project.
What it does
We use Claude to:
- Read/write files
- Discuss changes through dialogue
- Create new files/folders
- Implement code changes
The system enables:
- Conversational collaboration
- Version control via Git
- Branching nonlinear conversation and narratives
How we built it
Claude was my partner in crime from the very beginning. After bootstrapping, much of the development occurred through conversation with Claude (who had access to the codebase).
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Making something that helped make itself.
What we learned
Claude enjoys having file system access.
What's next for Dialogic Claude
Improving the CLI and chat interface. Streamlining the git integration. Eventually, finer file system write control, like making position-based insertions. Text editor integration (eg multicursor insertions).
