Hindsight is a local-first memory layer for AI coding. It tracks coding attempts inside JetBrains, including edits, test runs, failures, and reverts, then turns them into a structured attempt history. Through our MCP integration, agents can also query prior attempts before trying a new fix, helping them avoid repeating the same dead ends. We sync attempts to Supabase and surface them in a dashboard so teams can inspect failures, recoveries, and task history across projects. This directly tackles Problem Statement Two, "Testing & Debugging Code", by shrinking the gap between 'something failed' and 'here’s what was already tried.' It also supports Problem Statement One, "Writing & Generating Code", by giving coding agents memory of prior failed and successful approaches so their generated changes are more context-aware and less disposable. Long term, we think this can become a core layer for AI-assisted software development: a shared memory system for individuals and teams that makes agents more reliable, reduces duplicated debugging effort, and preserves high-value engineering knowledge that would otherwise be lost.
