Description
Short Intro: Pythagora is an AI app development platform built by Zvonimir Sabljic, Senko Rasic, and Leon Ostrez, three Croatian co-founders who went through Y Combinator's W24 batch after previously founding and selling AWW to Miro in 2021. The platform runs as a VS Code extension and is built on GPT Pilot, the company's open-source AI developer project with 33,800 GitHub stars. Pythagora 2.0, launched June 2025, coordinates 14 specialized agents across planning, coding, debugging, and deployment to target full-stack applications that front-end-only vibe coding tools miss.
Key Capabilities:
14 specialized AI agents coordinating planning, code writing, CLI execution, debugging, testing, and deployment in a unified workflow
Full-stack generation covering frontend, backend, database, and deployment rather than stopping at the UI layer
Conversational requirements gathering where agents ask questions, propose technology choices, and present a development plan before writing code
Code explanation alongside every change, walking developers through decisions rather than generating unexplained output
Interactive debugging built directly into the VS Code extension interface
Production-ready code target with the explicit thesis that AI handles roughly 95% of work while humans remain in the loop for the remainder
No vendor lock-in with every generated line accessible, editable, and portable
Human-managed security architecture rather than AI-delegated security decisions
Sidebar codebase chat on Pro plans for asking questions about the application with full context awareness
BYOK support on GPT Pilot for OpenAI, Anthropic, and Groq endpoints
GPT Pilot open-source foundation available separately at github.com/Pythagora-io/gpt-pilot
