DevAssist

DevAssist is an AI-powered developer tool built entirely using IBM Bob as the primary development partner. It was created to solve a real problem that every developer faces — spending too much time manually reviewing code, finding bugs, and writing documentation. With DevAssist, a developer can paste any code snippet and instantly receive an AI-powered review that includes a quality score out of 100, a detailed list of bugs and security issues found, specific suggestions for improvement, and a plain English summary of the overall code quality. The documentation generator allows developers to enter any public GitHub repository URL and automatically generate comprehensive documentation including docstrings, README sections, parameter descriptions, and usage examples — all powered by Google Gemini AI. IBM Bob was used throughout the entire development process. Bob generated the complete project structure, wrote all FastAPI backend routes, integrated the Gemini AI API, built the frontend interface, reviewed the code for issues, and generated all documentation and comments across the codebase. The backend is built with FastAPI and Python, deployed on Render, while the frontend is deployed on Netlify. The system uses API key authentication to secure all endpoints and mock data for demonstration purposes. DevAssist saves developers hours of manual code review and documentation work every single day, making it a tool that development teams would actually use in production.
