Pointing an AI agent at your legacy codebase and asking it to rewrite is a leap of faith.

Surveyor maps the system, captures its actual behavior as runnable specs, then you rewrite with certainty.

Most people experimenting with AI coding agents are searching for the “ultimate setup.”

But the pursuit of a universal setup is not always the best path.

Sometimes, to get better results, it is better to design specific workflows.

Surveyor from bitcrowd turns a codebase into a verifiable spec.

Same specs run against legacy and rewrite. Both green = done.

Legacy code. Vibe code. That unknown library you use. What they share:

You have no confidence in them.

With coding agents writing more of our code, where does developer value go?

Jorge Bejar from WyeWorks argues that it doesn't disappear, it moves from execution to judgment.

Al amplifies what's already there, for better or worse.

Introducing vision mode: now your coding agent can take screenshots and record videos of your web app!

In the demo below, we asked Tidewave to implement a feature, record videos of the feature working on both desktop and mobile resolutions, and deliver them to Slack.

[José Valim @josevalim]

You can now install Tidewave as a browser app (PWA). It is both gorgeous and practical: you get the benefits of using your daily browser (same credentials, extensions, and what not) and a more integrated OS experience. Enjoy!

[Hugo Baraúna @hugobarauna]

The workflow I use to ship production software with AI coding agents.

Not 10 agents in parallel. Just 2.

One implementing a feature, one prepping the next. Coordinated through Tidewave's task board.

I built Elixir Radar's newsletter system in a week this way. It's live, real customers are using it.

Full walkthrough:

[José Valim @josevalim]

New agentic code review workflow unlocked!

Before: You review a diff. Drop some comments. The agent makes changes but they're mixed with old changes. So you re-read everything. Give more feedback. Repeat.

After: Diffs only show what's new since your last review, in realtime.
