Duckies AI puts a team of AI reviewers, teachers, and implementers right in your editor — reviewing the lines you're looking at, explaining the ones worth understanding, and shipping the changes you approve. And they remember you.
Today's assistants sit off to the side. You copy code out, paste answers back, and the moment you close the tab they forget who you are, what your team's standards are, and what you were doing. Duckies works where you work.
Context-switch to a sidebar. Copy the code in, paste the answer out.
One generalist model guessing at your intent.
Zero memory — every session starts from scratch.
Specialists annotate the exact lines you're looking at, in the editor — no copy-paste, no context-switch.
A team of engineers each bring their own point of view, with a lead who routes your request to the right one.
Tiered memory that learns you and your standards, and carries across every session and project.
Real code review is a conversation between specialists — someone who owns the data layer, someone who owns the UI, someone who watches the words. Duckies gives you that team, each with their own point of view.
Reads what you're asking and pulls in the right specialist — or a couple of them.
Correctness, data flow, and the performance cliffs before they reach production.
Components, state, styling, and the accessibility details that get skipped.
Comments, naming, and prose that makes the next reader's job easier.
Security, reliability, and more specialists join the team on the roadmap.
A mentor duck walks you through code you didn't write — what it does, why it's built this way, and what's worth questioning.
Line-anchored feedback tagged blocker, suggestion, or nit — each with a one-click "apply the fix."
Approve a suggestion and watch a duck implement it — every tool call live, with a diff to review before you keep it.
Four tiers of memory — your standards, this project, this session, and each duck's own expertise — feed into every review and reply. The ducks pick up durable facts from your conversations automatically, but nothing is stored until you approve it.
Ask Duckies to scan a file and it drops lightbulbs on the genuinely interesting spots — a clever pattern, a subtle risk, a decision worth understanding. Click one to learn more, tuned to your skill level.
Open something you didn't write and the mentor duck lays out what you're looking at, why the author may have done it this way, and the questions worth asking — walking you through it one note at a time.
Duckies reads your level from how you work — the vocabulary you use, the questions you ask — and calibrates on its own. Same code, the right depth of feedback for whoever's reading it.
learned from your conversations — no dial to flip
A junior can open a staff engineer's PR and actually review it — the ducks explain the unfamiliar patterns and the why behind each decision, turning an intimidating diff into a guided read.
A principal gets tradeoffs and architecture, with the fundamentals they already know left unsaid — so review stays dense with signal instead of restating the basics.
A working prototype today, on a path toward always-on, local-first, deeply personal AI pairing.
A flock of specialists in your editor — reviewing, teaching, and shipping alongside you.
