Why Dhaani?

🧠

Human Creativity

Your innovative solutions drive the development process. AI amplifies your ideas, not replaces them.

⚡

AI Speed

Leverage AI's vast knowledge and coding capabilities to build faster than ever before.

🔧

Modular Design

Change and enhance parts of your software without impacting other components.

📚

Living Documentation

No documentation overhead. Your workflow becomes living documentation tied to your code.

🎯

Incomplete Specifications

AI excels at working with incomplete requirements, just like experienced developers.

👥

Broad Accessibility

From low technical to high technical users - everyone can benefit from Dhaani.

How It Works

1

Design Phase

The design phase focuses on creating a data flow diagram based on the user input specification.

2

Code Phase

The coding phase then codes each process of the workflow, solving the requirement and creating an end-to-end solution. AI's efficiency and knowledge work with human creativity to generate modular, maintainable code.

About the Author

Dhaani was created by Shraddha Surana during her research in interactive structured induction of programs for program synthesis. During her research she realized that while AI excels at coding and speed, the most innovative solutions come from human creativity. This led to the development of a human-in-the-loop approach that combines the best of both worlds. It uses specifications and structured interactions to generate code using LLMs vast background knowledge and efficiency.
