CodeHero · Your own software factory

What you can build

Software for the work you know.

A repair shop, a clinic, a small shop. Describe your daily work; your own factory turns the rules into software.

CodeHero asks, builds, checks, runs and maintains on your server. You decide the rules; you don’t write code.

The difference

You don’t ask the AI.
The AI asks you.

With ordinary AI tools you write what you want, and the AI fills the gaps by itself. CodeHero does the opposite: before it builds anything, it asks you what only you know — who approves, what happens at a limit, what must never be lost — and builds with your answers.

Try how it asks you

The first step: it asks you

Try how it asks you.

You know how the work should happen. CodeHero asks for the rules that turn it into software.

Which work do you recognise?

Pick one. Answer three questions. See the draft.

Scripted example. No live AI. Answers stay in this page and clear when you reload.

The working spreadsheet

Keep the knowledge.
Define the rules.

Columns rarely tell the whole story. Explain which values people correct, who owns a row and what happens when something is missing.

The application you have

Change the behavior.
Keep the context.

Describe what happens today and what must change. Before any change: agree what changes, how the existing data moves over, and how to go back if needed.

After delivery

Built here.
Runs here. Grows here.

CodeHero also hosts what it builds. Your application gets its own place to run. Later changes and fixes come back to the same factory.

Hosting and maintenance

  • Its own address

The same project. The same knowledge.

Questions people ask

All the articles
Am I tied to one AI company?

No. CodeHero works with many AI companies at once and with models on your own hardware. You can change company or model at any time — the project, its rules and its history stay. Read the article

Do my passwords and keys reach the AI company?

No. Passwords and keys you store as secrets are used by your application, but their values are never sent to the AI service. Read the article

Why do several AIs work on the same job?

Because one AI does not catch its own blind spots. In CodeHero one model builds and a model from a different company checks; problems go back for repair and are checked again. Read the article

How does CodeHero compare with other AI coding tools?

It is a different kind of thing. Coding tools help a person who writes code. CodeHero does the whole job — asks, plans, builds, checks, hosts and maintains — for the person who knows the business. Read the article

If CodeHero writes the code, what is my role?

You become the advisor: you decide the business rules, approve the plan and accept the result. CodeHero is the developer that asks, builds, checks and maintains. Read the article

How does the AI keep its memory on long jobs?

With memory folding: when the AI has finished with a long result it keeps a short note of what matters and puts the rest away — it can open it again at any time. So it works much longer without losing the thread. Read the article

How does the AI avoid forgetting or getting confused on a big project?

The factory gives it structure: smart tickets with one clear job each, a change ledger of every decision, a map of the code and search by meaning. The AI reads what it needs instead of guessing — which also saves a lot of cost. Read the article

Why do you call it a factory and not a tool?

Because it runs the whole production line on its own — planning, building, independent checking, repair, delivery and maintenance — with stations, rules and records, like a factory. A tool waits for a person to use it. Read the article

How can this change the world of applications?

When the person who knows the work can get software made, checked, hosted and maintained without a development team, software can be made for every business and every need — not only for those that can afford a team. Read the article

What does CodeHero mean for developers?

Less repetitive work and fewer late nights. The factory takes the routine building, checking and fixing; developers decide the architecture, review what matters and handle the hard problems. Read the article

Why does CodeHero host the applications too?

Because building and running belong together. The application runs where it was built, with its domain, secure connection, backups and recovery — and every later change returns to the same factory. No separate hosting panel to learn. Read the article

What technology do the applications use?

Always open, widely used technologies — PHP and MySQL first, and others such as Node, Python or .NET when the job needs them. Your application is never locked into a proprietary platform. Read the article

Why use AI subscriptions instead of paying per use?

Because in our own measurements, for heavy daily work, a subscription has cost up to about 40 times less than paying per use for the same work. CodeHero runs the subscription AI tools (Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build) as workers in the factory. Read the article

What happens to the knowledge about my project?

It is built up and kept inside your installation: decisions, rules, changes and their reasons, next to the code. A new person or a new AI continues from there — the knowledge does not leave with them. Read the article

Can small local AI models do real work?

Inside the factory, yes — more than on their own. Small, clear tickets, a checklist for finishing, tool help and a stronger model that checks the result let small models on your own hardware do much of the building. Read the article
