Time Machine | AI’s work likes playing video
ClackyAI Team
At the current stage, AI is not yet capable of fully completing development tasks assigned by humans. Therefore, we need to observe every action of AI just as we review the quality of work. Clacky has introduced the innovative "Time Machine Task" and code snapshot technologies, providing developers with complete visualization and control over AI actions. You can track, review, and adjust every modification made by AI, ensuring the development process remains under your control.
How does this work?
1. Relax and grab some coffee☕️
Once the agent has formulated a plan to solve the issue, you can let the AI get to work. It will automatically proceed with analysis, coding, and testing. During this time, you can set aside your current work and savor a delicious cup of coffee.
2. Monitor progress in real-time
Alternatively, you can choose to monitor the Time Machine's progress in real-time. Through an intuitive visual interface, you can keep track of the task's execution and make any necessary interventions or adjustments.
3. Playback
If you discover issues with the AI's work, you can pause the current task and review the historical action. The system will have saved the entire process, allowing you to replay and correct any errors.
4. Quickly adjust the content
While reviewing the completed actions, if you find the code implementation unsatisfactory, you can hover over the implemented code, and the agent will have already provided you with multiple implementation options. Simply switch to the one you deem most suitable.
You can also initiate an Inline chat by using the "Cmd/Ctrl + K" , and engage in a free-chat to achieve the desired code implementation.
5. Stop and re-plan
If the initial plan is flawed, don't worry. You can terminate it anytime, inform the AI of the issue, and re-plan your approach. You can always try again.
6. Human-AI collaboration for improved efficiency
The Time Machine not only can complete development tasks independently, but it can also collaborate effectively with you. It can learn and optimize its capabilities based on your feedback, ultimately enabling human-AI collaboration to enhance development efficiency.
Leveraging the powerful features of the Time Machine, you can free yourself from the tedious coding work and focus your efforts on more valuable activities, such as product design and requirement analysis. Let's embrace the new era of AI-driven software development together!

Reflections on Clacky CDE (Cloud Development Environment)
Traditional local development environments face challenges such as complex setup and maintenance, while AI-Native Cloud Development Environments (CDEs) provide precise environment control, real-time online operation, and seamless AI integration, making them the ideal platform for AI-powered development.
