# AutoPilot development status update - 1

The AutoPilot project aims to take an AI-powered code generation tool that works well like Roo Code and use it as a PR generator. It’s quite similar to Devin, but it will be much cheaper than Devin.

* Side note: I’ll not sell this as SaaS, to avoid competing with v0

Yesterday, I managed to **automatically** spawn a `code-server` instance with my `Dudy AutoPilot` extension and `Roo Code` extension installed. Once the user approves the plan for a task, a vscode worker is spawned to resolve the task.

Today, I made it automatically clone the repository, configure `Roo Code` using secrets sent by the server, and start a new task with `Roo Code`.
