Firebender - Android Studio's most powerful AI assistant

TLDR: Firebender is the most powerful AI assistant for Android Studio. We are privacy first - we don't log, store, or persist your code. Try it out at https://firebender.com/! Hey Product Hunt! Aman here, co-founder of Firebender (YC W24) with Kevin. We're extremely excited to launch Firebender, but our journey here took an unexpected turn. A few months ago, we were developing Firebender OS, an AI-powered fork of Android. Inspired by the failed launches of Humane Pin and Rabbit R1, we aimed to build better functionality by focusing on AI software and leveraging existing superior hardware. We rooted Pixel 8s and created an AI assistant activated by holding the power button. It automated tasks like drafting calendar invites and messages, opening relevant transportation apps based on location and schedule, and overriding the Google Gemini assistant with the best AI models. Despite using it every day, we didn't LOVE the product, which led us to consider a new direction. Throughout this process, we constantly struggled without a good AI coding assistant for Android development. We discovered that Android developers are often overlooked regarding AI-powered development tools. This became clear as we heard from frustrated devs about existing tools: "GPT4 and Claude were clueless about the Android UI framework we use." - Senior Staff Android Eng at Airbnb "Gemini and Copilot are comically bad. I never use them" - Android Tech Lead at GoodRx This revealed a clear opportunity, so we pivoted to Firebender, the most powerful AI coding assistant for Android developers. Firebender offers: 🚀 Lightning-fast assistance right in Android Studio 💡 Up-to-date Android knowledge 🗨️ Contextual understanding of your codebase, logs, and emulator ✏️ Intelligent code suggestions and modifications And the best part? It's free and privacy-first - we don't log, store, or persist your code. 🙏 Our Asks Try Firebender for Android Studio at https://firebender.com/ Chat with us in whatever way works best for you - We'll buy coffee or lunch for any Android developer in the Bay Area, text or call us at 469-347-0830 - Schedule a call here: https://calendly.com/d/cp47-gp4-... - Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/WB4VnjR4RA - Email: founders@firebender.com Thanks!!

cracked team, let's goo Firebender 🔥

So you use your own API keys?

Congrats on the launch, @amangotchu ! It's exciting to see a solution focused on Android developers, especially one that prioritizes privacy.

Just picked up Android after 5+ years, and Firebender is the only reason I was able to deploy a basic crud app in 2 hours :) well done @kevo1ution @amangotchu looking forward to see what's next

Android dev is so painful to me, this is SUPER SUPER HELPFUL. CONGRATS 🥳🥳🥳

Hey guys, love the product - congrats!!

Firebender seems like a major time-saver for Android developers! Awesome! I love the idea of AI-powered code insights and automated debugging directly within Android Studio. How well does the log analyzer work with large projects, and can it handle complex errors efficiently?

This is so helpful for app development. I wish this existed for XCode :')

This launch sounds like an exciting leap forward for Android developers. Congratulations!
