Is that through the Enterprise plan?

Re: Launch HN: Codebuff (YC F24) – CLI tool that writes code for you
#22I've been using Codebuff for the last few weeks, and it's been really nice for working in my Elixir repo. And as someone who uses Neovim in the terminal instead of VS Code, it's nice to actually be able to have it live in the tmux split beside Neovim instead of having to switch to a different editor.
I have noticed some small oddities, like every now and then it will remove the existing contents of a module when adding a new function, but between a quick glance over the changes using the diff command and our standard CI suite, it's always pretty easy to catch and fix.

Nope, if you go over the allotted credits on the $99 plan, then you pay per usage (with a 5% discount).
We actually ended up not charging this guy since there was a bug where we told him he got 50,000 credits instead of 10,000. Oops!

#24The demos I see for these types of tools are always some toy project and doesn't reflect day to day work I do at all. Do you have any example PRs on larger more complex projects that have been written with codebuff and how much of that was human interactive?
The real problem I want someone to solve is helping me with the real niche/challenging portion of a PR, ex: new tiptap extension that can do notebook code eval, migrate legacy auth service off auth0, record and replay API GET requests and replay a % of them as unit tests, etc.
So many of these tools get stuck trying to help me "start" rather than help me "finish" or unblock the current problem I'm at.

Thanks for using Codebuff! Yeah, these edit issues are annoying, but I'm confident we can reduce the error rate a lot in the coming weeks.

#26I've been playing with Codebuff for a few days (building out some services with Node.js + Typescript) - been working beautifully! Feels like I'm watching a skilled surgeon at work.

#27Why is there stuff for Manifold Markets in the distributed package? /codebuff/dist/manifold-api.js https://www.npmjs.com/package/codebuff?activeTab=code
Haha, it's because I used to work on Manifold Markets! Codebuff was originally called Manicode. We just renamed it this week actually. There was meant to be a universe of "Mani" products. My other cofounder made Manifund, and there's a conference we made called Manifest!
but that doesn’t answer the question? are these test files?

I hear you. This is actually a foundational idea for Codebuff. I made it to work within the large-ish codebase of my previous startup, Manifold Markets.
I want the demos to be of real work, but somehow they never seem as cool unless it's a neat front end toy example.
Here is the demo video I sent in my application to YC, which shows it doing real stuff: https://www.loom.com/share/fd4bced4eff94095a09c6a19b7f7f45c?...

Absolutely! Imaging setting a bunch of css styles through a long winded AI conversation, when you could have an IDE to do it in a few seconds. I don't need that.
The long tail of niche engineering problems is the time consuming bit now. That's not being solved at all, IMHO.

Oh, it was a tool call I originally implemented so that Codebuff could look up the probabilities of markets to help it answer user questions.
I thought it would be fun if you asked it about the chance of the election or maybe something about AI capabilities, it could back up the answer by citing a prediction market.
