Diana Levytska for Kode Sherpa

We turned our AI smart contract generator into an IDE

When we started building Kode Sherpa, the goal was simple:
help developers generate smart contracts faster.

But pretty quickly we hit a limit.

Generating code is not the hard part anymore.
The hard part is everything around it:

  • structuring the project
  • writing and running tests
  • handling deployment
  • iterating safely

So we started asking a different question:

๐Ÿ‘‰ What if AI didnโ€™t just generate code, but helped you manage the entire project?

Thatโ€™s what led us to build Sherpa Studio.

Instead of just outputting Solidity, you now work inside a structured environment:

  • contracts, tests, config
  • file management
  • deployment scripts generated automatically

We also introduced templates you can explore even without signing up โ€” just to make the entry barrier lower.

Still early, still a lot to improve.

Curious to hear from other devs:
does this direction make sense, or is it overengineering?
