  7. While coding with AI assist, I noticed bigger projects need something more rigid as context so the AI coder doesn't stray away when I try to add new features. You know, to keeps its memory fresh and not change the stuff that already works.

  9. Inwardis icon
     Like

    Inwardis keeps what you know about a system as a hierarchical model rather than separate diagrams. Every element can contain sub-elements, so a person or an AI agent opens one level, sees what matters there and drills into a single branch.
