AI helps me write code — but it kept turning into a mess. So I built a tool to fix it.

If you’ve used AI to code, you know this feeling: it’s fast, but it also spirals out of control real quick. Spaghetti logic, inconsistent architecture, and unclear design decisions — all because we skipped the planning step. That’s why I created Stack Studio, an AI-powered software architect that helps you design features before touching the keyboard. Why I built it: I was tired of backtracking and rewriting AI-generated code. Every time I asked for help with a new feature, the AI lacked context, and the end result was always a patchwork of guesses. What was missing? Clear feature planning grounded in the actual codebase. How it works You connect your repo (mono or not), and Stack Studio gives you: Auto-generated architecture diagrams and design specs AI-guided feature planning, with real-time code context Export-ready prompts for whatever assistant you like It’s like having a systems architect whispering in your ear, telling you what you’re building and why — so AI can finally code with purpose. Why it matters: Letting AI drive the IDE without a plan is like building a house with no blueprint. Stack Studio brings back the lost art of design — powered by AI — and makes your whole workflow smarter, from idea to PR. I’ve been using it daily, and the quality of my code (and my team’s sanity) has seriously leveled up. https://stackstudio.io/ Would love your thoughts — do you plan features before you code, or just dive in and figure it out later?

  • AI-guided feature planning, with real-time code context
