Micro Agent
FreeAI tool for reliable test-driven code generation
Micro Agent is an open-source tool developed by Builder.io to address the unreliability of AI-generated code. It uses unit tests as guardrails to ensure the generated code meets specified requirements. The tool constrains the AI to specific tasks, generates unit tests based on user prompts, writes code to pass these tests, and automatically iterates until all tests pass. This approach results in higher-quality, more reliable code compared to typical AI coding tools.

What is Micro Agent?
Micro Agent is an open-source tool from Builder.io that ensures reliable AI-generated code through unit test guardrails. It interprets natural language prompts to craft corresponding tests and iterates code until all tests pass.
How does Micro Agent work?
By enforcing unit tests as guardrails, Micro Agent generates code that is reliable and meets specified requirements. It constrains the AI to specific tasks, generates unit tests based on user prompts, writes code to pass these tests, and automatically iterates until all tests are satisfied. This approach results in higher-quality, more reliable code.
