Dec 20, 2023 - news.bensbites.co
The article introduces a custom AI assistant that can clone any GitHub repository to its remote cloud environment, work on the repository there, and then make a pull request to GitHub. The AI developer uses E2B sandboxes for remote task execution. The assistant is capable of cloning the repo and editing, reading, and writing files, and can be controlled from your terminal. It is powered by GPT-4-Turbo and runs in a secure cloud sandbox provided by E2B.
To start using this AI assistant, one needs to clone the repository, open the specified directory, and install the necessary dependencies. The user must then rename the `.env.example` to `.env` and set up the `OPENAI_API_KEY` key and the `E2B_API_KEY` key. After creating the AI assistant, the assistant ID must be obtained from the console output and set in the `.env` file as `AI_ASSISTANT_ID`. Finally, the user can start the app.
