Tired of the AI Intern? Get an AI Mentor.

Stop cleaning up after chaotic AI tools. Get an expert partner that asks the right questions, creates a clear plan, and helps you ship code you can actually trust.

A Smarter Way to Build

Built on a philosophy of clarity, control, and collaboration.

It Asks Smart Questions

Instead of guessing, our AI partner asks clarifying questions to understand your exact goal before it writes a single line of code. This prevents errors and saves you time.

Context-Aware, Not Code-Blind

You choose exactly which parts of your project the AI should look at. This precision eliminates noise and leads to higher quality, perfectly relevant suggestions.

You Control the Cost

Plug in your own API key from major AI providers. This means you have full control over your spending and no surprise bills. Your privacy is protected.

There's the Intern... and there's the Mentor.

One creates chaos and leaves you to clean it up. The other guides you to build with calm and control.

The Haunted Autopilot

It means well, but it dumps confusing code, makes a mess, and creates more work for you.

Silently changes 15 files. You spend the next two days hunting for the new bugs it created.
'Helpfully' adds a flawed component from the internet. You fail your next security audit.
Gives you outdated code from a 3-year-old forum post, making your app harder to maintain.
Your bill is a surprise $500 because it got stuck in a loop trying to 'fix' a file.

The AI Mentor

It respects your expertise, clarifies your goals, and empowers you to ship reliable code, faster.

Suggests a clear, step-by-step plan for your approval. You know exactly what will change and why.
Flags a potential security risk and explains how to fix it, teaching you best practices.
Analyzes your project to suggest a modern, clean solution that fits your existing code style.
Your bill is a predictable $15. You used your own API key and only paid for the expert help you actually needed.

How an Expert Helps

Our AI doesn't just dump code on you. It clarifies your goal and creates a plan that you control.

Your Request

Please Sensei, help me with adding a help button on my page.

The BabaSensei™'s Response

Goal & Constraints

You want to add a help button to the user profile page that opens a modal with FAQs. You want to reuse existing components to keep the implementation clean and consistent.

Questions

1. Should this be a floating button or integrated into the profile form?
2. Will the FAQ content be static or fetched from an endpoint?
3. Do you have a preferred icon for the button?

Plan (Smallest Walking Slice)

1. Import the existing `Button` and `Dialog` components.
2. Wrap the `Button` with a `DialogTrigger`.
3. Populate the `DialogContent` with your FAQ text.

Reply with answers to the questions, and I'll generate the code. If the defaults (integrated button, static content) are fine, just say 'proceed'.

Predictable Costs, No Markups

Our 'Bring Your Own Key' model means you pay the AI provider directly. We never mark up their prices.

From the Founder

Simon Waiblinger

Founder, BabaDeluxe

Made in Austria 🇦🇹

'Most AI tools are like clumsy interns—they make a mess and create more work. I built this because we need a mentor, not an intern. The philosophy is simple: empower makers with an expert partner you can actually trust and control.'

Your Questions, Answered

Why no distracting pop-ups?

Because focus is critical. Constant pop-ups from other AI tools break your concentration. This tool is designed for deliberate interaction: you ask for help when you need it. This keeps you in the driver's seat and respects your workflow.

Why no 'AI agents' that work on their own?

Because for professional work, you need to be in control. Autonomous agents can make unpredictable changes that lead to hidden bugs and security flaws. We believe the human must always be the final authority. This tool acts as your trusted advisor, not an unpredictable robot.

How is my code kept private?

Your privacy is our priority. With our 'Bring Your Own Key' model, your code is sent directly from your computer to the AI provider you choose (like OpenAI or Google). We never see, log, or store your code. Your conversation history is saved locally on your machine, not our servers.

What does 'You Control the Cost' mean for my wallet?

It means total transparency. You pay us a flat subscription for the tool, and you pay the AI provider (like OpenAI) directly for your usage. There are no hidden markups. You have complete control and visibility over your spending.

How is this different from GitHub Copilot?

It's a different philosophy: Mentor vs. Intern. Copilot is great for suggesting single lines of code (autocompletion). This tool is your partner for complex problems. It helps you think through challenges, create a clear plan, and produce high-quality, maintainable code, not just fast code.

Will this cost more than other AI coding tools?

Often, it's cheaper. Other tools (~$20/month) encourage constant, low-value AI interactions that can lead to surprise bills. This tool is for focused, high-value tasks. You might use it 5-10 times a day for complex problems, which could cost less than $5/month in AI usage. Our subscription plus your usage is often lower for much higher quality, expert-led help.
