AI Distiller (aid)

AI Distiller is an ultra-fast, open-source tool designed to intelligently extract essential public APIs, types, and structures from large codebases, significantly compressing code for improved AI usability. By reducing 90–98% of code into a format that AI can effectively utilize, AI Distiller facilitates cleaner and more cost-effective AI development.

🤔 Why AI Distiller?

In the realm of large-scale software development, managing extensive projects loaded with numerous files and functions poses substantial challenges. Developers often find AI tools, such as Claude, Gemini, Copilot, or Cursor, generating code that may appear accurate but may not align with the project's actual requirements. This discrepancy stems from AI's limited context window, which can hinder its understanding of the larger codebase.

AI Distiller addresses this issue by performing code distillation— extracting only the most critical information from the entire project. This process results in a context that is considerably smaller (5-20% of the original size), effectively providing AI with the precise details needed to produce correct code from the outset without guesswork.

✨ Key Features

• Extreme Speed: Processes large code volumes in milliseconds, harnessing up to 80% of available CPU cores, configurable as needed.
• Intelligent Distillation: Supports 12+ programming languages, extracting only public APIs, types, and signatures.
• High Configurability: Options for including private, protected, and internal members or even function implementations.
• AI Prompt Generation: Generates tailored prompts for AI analysis, allowing seamless integration with tools like Claude, Cursor, and others.
• Analysis Automation and Git Analysis: Facilitates systematic project analysis and prepares data for developmental insights.
• Multi-platform Compatibility: Available as a single binary for Windows, Linux, and macOS (x64 & ARM).

🚀 Transform Massive Codebases Into AI-Friendly Context

Modern codebases often contain millions of lines of code, making it crucial for AI models to access structured and relevant information. AI Distiller efficiently compresses your code, allowing AI assistance to become far more effective. This transformation leads to:

• Improved Accuracy: AI has complete visibility of class interfaces, parameter types, and return types, minimizing errors.
• Enhanced Understanding: With accurate context, AI can provide better architectural advice and coding suggestions.
• Reduced Costs: Using AI Distiller can yield significant financial savings on AI API calls by fitting entire frameworks into manageable token sizes.

🌍 Supported Languages

AI Distiller supports a wide array of programming languages, such as:

• Full Support: Python, Go, JavaScript, PHP, Ruby.
• Beta Support: TypeScript, Java, C#, Rust, Kotlin, Swift, C++.

For complete integration with AI development workflows, AI Distiller offers an advanced CLI for command execution, providing myriad options for optimizing and configuring code analysis. Whether streamlining testing or refining code documentation, AI Distiller stands out as an indispensable tool for any developer looking to enhance their AI-assisted programming tasks.
