We're releasing AstroCoder in beta as both a public resource and a community experiment. We particularly need feedback on AI-generated code, your insights are valuable for improving AI’s understanding of astronomy tools.

We hope you find AstroCoder as a useful resource!

AstroCoder includes a chatbot with a search assistant and a coding agent that autonomously investigates 5-10 relevant code files before answering your queries.

Built with @universetbd.org, AstroCoder contains AI-generated technical summaries, installation guides, and example code for all astronomy codebases on Astrophysics Source Code Library. Technical details: blog.nolank.ca/astrocoder/

AstroCoder tackles two problems:
1. Making niche astronomy software more easily discoverable and usable
2. Letting the astronomy community evaluate if current AI can properly use the tools astronomers rely on

Awesome project

Thanks for adding me! Really helpful for getting started here. :)

Some using foundation models, some using LLMs, all hopefully useful for Astro research.
