The low-hanging^°hard word fruit is having agents^°hard word do things like type checking. 💡 there is no reason to not have your main codebase^°hard word include^°hard word type hints^°hard word for JavaScript^°hard word, Python^°hard word, etc^°hard word. any more. On the other hand, there is no need to force developers^°hard word to use them. An agent^°hard word can modify^°hard word the pull request to add them.
Having an agent^°hard word take every "Swift" ⚙️ for an iOS^°hard word app app change, and apply it to "Kotlin^°hard word" ⚙️ for an Android^°hard word app, doesn't work extremely well. And, as I have mentioned, the $20/month LLM^°hard word subscriptions^°hard word will work for an individual^°hard word developer doing^°hard word one version^°hard word, but not for two 💡 or three with web^°hard word; or four if you count documentation^°hard word versions^°hard word of an app.
Audio^°hard word generation^°hard word is still expensive^°hard word if you have an LLM^°hard word API^°hard word do it, and low-quality^°hard word locally^°hard word. Neither the LLM^°hard word nor non-LLM^°hard word audio^°hard word generation^°hard word tools give high-quality^°hard word output^°hard word. And, even "gpt^°hard word-4o-mini^°hard word" 💡 still the newest model in January 2026 has about a 1% error rate.
