ducky

AI for the thinking parts of engineering

Talk or chat with an AI that helps you think through problems, debug code, discuss architectures, consider design patterns, and explore ideas — never gives you the code, just asks the right questions to help you discover it yourself.

• Never repeat yourself—Ducky remembers
• Voice, chat, and more ways to work
• Integrations with your knowledge sources

Features

Your thinking partner, not a solution machine

Guides you to answers instead of giving them away—helping you think through problems, consider edge cases, and understand your own solutions.

Voice & Chat

Talk or type—your choice.

Use voice for natural conversation or chat when you prefer text. Available on web, VS Code, CLI, and more.

Thoughtful Questions

Guides, never solves.

Asks the right questions to help you think through edge cases and discover solutions yourself—like the best pair programming partner.

Long-Term Memory

Remembers everything.

Never repeat yourself. Ducky remembers your projects, coding patterns, and past conversations to provide meaningful context.

Project Organization

Keep conversations organized.

Create separate projects for different work streams. Each conversation stays focused and contextual.

Smart Integrations

Intelligent tool orchestration.

Agentically coordinates tools and context to gather information, run searches, and support your work without manual intervention.

Learning Observer

Learn from seniors and staff.

Have Ducky watch your programming or engineering sessions and learn from seniors or staff, then incorporate those insights into conversations with junior engineers or others.

Team Collaboration

Collaborative engineering partner.

Any team member can talk to Ducky and it keeps a record of updated alignment topics, discussions, and shared context for the entire team.

Decision Tracking

Remembers why you chose that.

Automatically captures architectural decisions, trade-offs, and the reasoning behind technical choices—perfect for onboarding and future reference.

Pattern Recognition

Spots what you might miss.

Identifies recurring patterns in your work and suggests improvements based on what you’ve done before—helping you avoid repeating mistakes and build on successes.

Why Ducky

AI coding is creating a knowledge crisis

Slop is getting shipped everywhere. Teams don’t know what they’re merging or why. Ducky exists to fix this—by helping engineers think, not just ship.

Tech debt is accelerating

AI coding tools are shipping code faster than teams can understand it. Without comprehension, every merged PR adds invisible weight to your codebase—slowing you down when it matters most.

Knowledge is being delegated away

When AI writes the code, engineers stop learning. They don’t understand what they’re merging, why it works, or how to fix it when it breaks. Your team’s expertise erodes with every automated solution.

Teams are losing engineering intuition

Engineers who don’t think through problems lose the ability to spot edge cases, question assumptions, and make sound architectural decisions. Speed without understanding is just faster failure.

Quality doesn’t have to mean slow

Ducky augments your engineers instead of replacing their thinking. Your team ships reliable, meaningful software—with full understanding of what they’re building and why—without sacrificing velocity.
