These are specialized systems, not separate foundation models.</li> <li> <strong>Check what was verified.</strong> Review explicit PASS, FAIL and NOT RUN results rather than assuming every generated project has been tested.</li> <li> <strong>Keep developing in VS Code.</strong> Upload the project to VS Code and use VS Code sync to continue editing in your own editor. Local-model selection is also part of the platform.</li> </ol> <p><strong>Example intended workflow:</strong> “Build a portfolio website for my photography” → a generated website project → review verification results → continue refining its code in VS Code. This is an illustrative use case, not a published demo or a guaranteed result.</p> <p>Astrexi is still in development; no public build is available yet, and reliability and acceptance testing are ongoing.</p> <h2> Why the handoff matters </h2> <p>Generating a starting point is one step. Inspecting code, making changes and understanding what was actually tested are the next steps. That is why VS Code upload/sync and visible verification results are central to Astrexi’s direction.</p> <p>For a useful AI-to-editor workflow, I would want clear answers to three questions:</p> <ul> <li>Which version of a file is current after edits in both places?</li> <li>Can I review changes before applying them?</li> <li>Can I maintain the project after its initial generation?</li> </ul> <p>These are feedback questions, not claims that every edge case has already been solved.</p> <p>If this workflow interests you, join the <a href="https://labs.google.com/pomelli/website/aVpLK57bTXP5_e4mM2Q_bB" rel="noopener noreferrer">early-interest waitlist</a>.</p> <p>What would you build first, and what would make the VS Code handoff useful for you?</p> ai
