How was the idea for Firebender born? #ai #programming #androidstudio #kotlin #jetbrains

The founders of Firebender share the origin story of their AI coding assistant for Android Studio. Frustrated by constantly switching between Android Studio and Cursor while doing Android development, they decided to build their own AI coding assistant as a side project. Within a couple of days they had a working prototype they actually wanted to use. The key insight: the best startup ideas come from building something you personally need and will use every day.
