Zero-Shot F5

Inspiration

We created a tool to improve accessibility for developers with low or no vision by turning code structure into understandable audio logic.

What it does

An IntelliJ IDEA plugin that uses PSI and AI to narrate Java code structure and intent through real-time speech in English and Spanish.

How we built it

Built with IntelliJ PSI, OpenAI API, and a service-oriented architecture for language, state, and speech handling integrated via Gradle.

Challenges we ran into

Mapping PSI to meaningful speech, preventing overlapping audio, and keeping AI explanations short, accurate, and consistent.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We built a working AI-powered accessibility plugin that provides real-time code narration and multilingual support inside IntelliJ IDEA.

What we learned

We learned how PSI, AI prompting, and TTS systems can be combined to transform code understanding and improve accessibility.

What's next for Zero-Shot F5

We plan to expand into voice-to-code, support more languages, and evolve into a full hands-free, AI-driven development environment.
