PearAI Creator can build apps, fix your bugs, and implement new features for you — all automatically.

PearAI is an open-source AI code editor. We just introduced PearAI Inventory, which includes the best-on-market tools for every part of coding with AI.

aider is one of the most powerful code generation tools right now. It scored one of the highest SWE Bench benchmark. We're excited to announce it is now added to the PearAI Inventory!

When you ask for a new feature, bug fix, or new app — it can do just that! It has full context of your codebase, has ability to create and edit multiple files.

Quick Demo

How to Use PearAI Creator (for free!)

  1. If you already have PearAI installed, simply go to "Help" at the top and search "Update". It will automatically update you to the newest version of PearAI.

    Otherwise, download the new PearAI here: https://trypear.ai/download
  2. Open up command pallette (CMD/CTRL + Shift + P) and select "PearAI Creator"
  3. The first time it runs, it will likely take a second to install and run aider. Every time after, it should be instant!
  4. Try it out! Ask for a new feature, a bug fix, or to start a new app. Please let us know your feedback!

[Option] Use Your Own API Key

PearAI Creator will work out of the box using our servers, but as always, you can use your own API key from OpenAI or Anthropic . Simply add the following to the "models" section in your ~/.pearai/config.json file:

{
  "model": "claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620",
  "contextLength": 300000,
  "title": "claude (PearAI Creator)",
  "provider": "aider",
  "apiKey": "{YOUR_API_KEY}"
}

Troubleshooting

PearAI Creator is still in beta mode, so there may be a few rough edges.

If PearAI Creator is not working at all (ie. lags with no response), it is likely due to an issue with the aider installation.

If you are running into this, please message this in the PearAI Discord, as it will help us improve.

To fix this, you may need to manually install aider here: https://aider.chat/docs/install.html.

Once you can type in 'aider' or 'python -m aider' into your terminal and aider runs well, then PearAI should work on its next run! If you have further issues, please reach out on Discord.
