Changelog

Integrated o1 & improved model selection

OpenAI announced their new model nearly two weeks ago, promising faster, better coding. We straight away made sure to integrate with Fine, along with the previous OpenAI models and Claude 3.5 Sonnet. The results are fantastic and as before - you don't need your own API keys.

We've also improved the way you select which model to use, so that you can pick the right model for each task.

New Agent Interface

The previously separate “Ask” and “Implement” features are now smarter and work together from a unified interface. Fine can now distinguish whether you’re asking a question or assigning a task and responds with the appropriate workflow. There's no longer a need to use slash commands, just talk to the agent naturally.

We’ve implemented a new backend algorithm that delivers responses more than 10 times faster without compromising quality.

The UI has also been updated so you can see live changes to the codebase as the AI writes them.

Launched Affiliates Program

We launched our brand new affiliate program allowing super-fans and content creators with strong audiences of developers to earn money by promoting Fine. More details can be found here and you can sign up here.

Improved Mobile Experience

We’ve been tweaking and improving our mobile experience to ensure you can get tasks done with the help of AI on the go.

Launched Workflows

Workflows is how you can automate AI agents to perform tasks at a set frequency or following a trigger. Think automatic debugging, documentation, changelog, PR review and more.

Launched Ask

Easily ask Fine any question about your codebase - including your integrated platforms - from the home panel. Find valuable information and key context to make your work easier and more efficient.

Integrated Slack

You can now integrate Slack with Fine and get notifications with agent outputs as part of workflows.

• Fine now supports Claude Opus LLM model. Pro users can configure their agents to use Claude as their backend LLM model. Although slower than the default model, GPT-4 Turbo, Claude Opus has shown to be more accurate.
• AI Chat has gone through a major speed optimization, now responding 2x faster than before.

Assign GitHub Issues to Fine AI Agents

You can now initiate Fine AI agents to work on GitHub issues directly from GitHub.

• Try it out by commenting on the issue with /code command.
• Fine will create a new branch, assign the issue to the AI agent, and create a pull request with the AI agent's changes.

Imporvements

• Chat now supports streaming AI responses.
• Prompt bar now supports multiple lines and rich text formatting (markdown).
• Revamped the AI prompt bar design.
• A few bugs were fixed in the "Issue-to-Pull Request" feature.

Turn Linear Issues into Pull Requests

You can now assign Linear Issues directly to Fine AI agents. To get started, go to Workspace Settings > Integrations and enable the Linear integration.

/code

• To delegate an issue to an AI agent, comment on the issue with /code --repo=owner/repo-name.
• Fine will create a new branch, assign the issue to the AI agent, and create a pull request with the AI agent's changes.

/guideme

Leave a comment with /guideme --reop=owner/repo-name to get a step-by-step guide on how to solve the issue.

Ask around your code

We redesigned AI experience from the ground up, and AI Palette now takes center stage.

The AI Palette lets you chat about around your codebase, and initiate AI Agents to perform repository-wide tasks.

Slash commands

You can interact with AI Palette using slash commands.

• /ask: Lets you talk with an AI that understands your codebase.
• /code: Initiates an AI agent to perform a repository-wide task.

When it comes to visual systems, feedback can also be given while looking at the same monitor, and not at the code. To mimic this live and dynamic interaction between human developers within the Fine system, we are proud to introduce ‘Interactive Preview'.

Today, we are excited to announce the release of Fine’s latest version, carefully crafted with the needs of full stack developers at the forefront. The brand-new version gives users an intuitive environment for software development powered by AI agents. The undeniable highlight being the 'Interactive Preview' feature that fundamentally transforms code development by closing the loop and offering a real-time feedback mechanism for developers.

Feedback is an essential element of software development. This is true for human developers as it is for our AI agents. The more detailed and timely feedback an AI agent can access, the better it becomes at understanding tasks, refining responses, and improving overall function.

Often while working in a team, a developer states their opinion about the piece of code or design another team member created. When it comes to visual systems, feedback can also be given while looking at the same monitor, and not at the code.

To mimic this live and dynamic interaction between human developers within the Fine system, we are proud to introduce ‘Interactive Preview'.

Interactive Preview puts our users in direct control, just like a movie director guiding their actors. Developers can run their code, see the results in real time, and provide feedback directly to the AI agents. It gives developers the option to guide their AI agents as they would guide a team member, helping them understand what works, what doesn’t, and where there's room for improvement. Essentially, forming a closed cycle of task assignment, execution, feedback, and improvement.

Just as real-life feedback sessions bring about clarity, refinement, and consistent improvement, Interactive Preview ensures our AI agents continue advancing in their capabilities. It's a quintessential feature that makes Fine more than a tool - it's a dynamic, adaptive, and collaborative solution, fulfilling the vision of a truly integrated human-AI software development environment.

Tailored For Full Stack Developers

At Fine we are constantly thinking about the end goal: building the virtual developer. Our ‘Interactive Preview' is a testament to our commitment to continuous innovation and giving our users the best possible experience. By offering developers the ability to run their codes and provide live feedback to their AI agents, we're facilitating a more sophisticated, seamless, and interactive programming environment.

Full stack developers, who handle both front-end and back-end processes, require a solution that makes the entire software engineering process more efficient. Now, the AI agents don’t just understand the development context from the provided codebase and documentation, but also take into account the live feedback, becoming even smarter and more efficient.

Think of it as an always available, always eager-to-learn colleague. No matter how many times you run your code, or how many comments you share, the AI agents learn from your feedback, adapting and evolving to better serve you. The more you interact, the more they understand your unique style, your project's specific needs, and the more accurate their solutions become.

Today we are releasing a new version of Fine. In this update we solved many of the issues that users faced in the previous days. If you had trouble setting up a project or running an agent recently, this version might have solved it, so give it a go. We’ve got a new batch of product updates, playbooks, and upcoming events for ya. Here's the latest:

🚀 What's New in Fine

Agents take central stage: We removed the tabs interface and moved the specifications to a panel on the right side of the screen. The main interface will now be dedicated to working with the AI agents: planning, executing, and revising.

Manually stage files for the Agent’s editing: In our latest product update, we introduced mentioning via '@'. This week we introduce manually staging files for the agent to edit. More control, better precision.

Improvements to our DB infrastructure allows importing larger projects: If you previously tried to import a large project there's a good chance the import failed. We now support larger projects, so feel free to try again.

Added GPT-4-32k to our backend: With less limitations on context and rate, the product now works faster, and the quality of suggested tasks and generated code increased.

UX Improvement: We improved the “revision” UX (the pencil button), and added file icons to indicate the file type.

Notebooks can now be deleted: Following multiple requests from the community - Projects and Notebooks can now be deleted. Click the Kebab Menu at the top right to reveal the option.

Multiple Workspaces bugs fixed: Member invitation status now updates, invites are being sent correctly, and the confirmation toast closes correctly.

Graceful error handling: Fine now handles failed tasks with retry mechanisms, and better logging.
