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:

πŸ‘‰ What if AI didn’t just generate code, but helped you manage the entire project?

That’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 β€” 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?
