Ballistic AI 🚀
Ballistic supercharges the latest SOTA LLMs like Claude 3.5, transforming chats into software development sessions. Put away the editor - work in plain English and go Ballistic.
Why Ballistic?
- With AI code editors you're still juggling files and figuring out how code fits together.
- With artifacts, you are copy & pasting code, unsure of what changes were made.
- In Ballistic your software project is directly tied into the chat. Code is auto-loaded into Claude's context. Buttons like Write/Execute/Diff/Undo allow you to work with LLM outputs w/ confidence and ease.
