Edit code with AI
Edit code with AI without being a developer
The popular AI code editors are built for engineers. ronda lets someone who does not write code change a real app in plain English, and every edit lands as a pull request your engineers review before it ships.
Built for a different person
AI code editors assume you already write code
Tools like Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Claude Code are excellent at editing code with AI, and they are built for people who write code. They open your repository on your machine, suggest changes inline, and expect you to read the result, run it, and commit it. If you do not write code, none of that is safe to do on your own. ronda takes the same idea, editing code with AI, and points it at the person who is not an engineer. You describe the change in plain English against a live preview of your real app, ronda makes the edit in the actual code, and it opens a pull request your engineers review. You get the leverage of editing code with AI without needing to read a diff or run a terminal, and the review step keeps your engineers in control.
How it works
From plain English to a reviewed change
- 1
Describe the change
Open a live preview of your real app, point at what you want to change, and describe it in plain English.
- 2
ronda edits the code
ronda maps your request to the source file and makes the change in your actual codebase, not a copy or a mockup.
- 3
An engineer reviews
The edit lands as a standard GitHub pull request. An engineer reads the diff and merges it, so nothing ships unreviewed.
Why ronda for this
The review step is what makes it safe
No coding skill required
You never read a diff, run a command, or clone a repo. You describe the change and ronda handles the branch, the commit, and the pull request.
A reviewed pull request
Every AI edit becomes a pull request your engineers approve. The AI proposes; a human with merge rights decides what ships.
Your real codebase
The edit happens in the code your app actually runs on. There is no separate sandbox copy to reconcile and no regeneration of the whole app.

Questions
Editing code with AI, answered
Can I edit code with AI if I do not know how to code?
Yes. That is exactly who ronda is for. You describe the change in plain English and ronda writes the code edit for you, then opens a pull request your engineers review. You do not need to read the code or understand git.
How is this different from Cursor or Copilot?
Cursor and Copilot are AI code editors built for developers. They assume you read the suggested change, run it, and commit it yourself. ronda is built for people who do not write code. It makes the edit in your real app and routes it through a pull request an engineer approves, so the safety comes from review rather than from your own judgment of the diff.
Is it safe to let AI edit my production code?
Nothing ronda edits reaches production on its own. Every change is a pull request an engineer reviews and merges. Risky edits also pass through a preview-and-approve step before anything commits, so a human is always the last decision before users see a change.
What languages and frameworks does ronda support?
ronda works on web app codebases and auto-detects React, Vue, Svelte, and Angular. It is monorepo-aware and Docker-first, and each session runs your real dev server in an isolated sandbox so the preview reflects your actual app.
What does ronda cost?
The Free plan is $0 with 1 project, 1 sandbox, and 1 collaborator. The Starter plan is $9 per month with 5 projects, 5 sandboxes per project, and unlimited collaborators. Both plans are bring-your-own Anthropic key, so you pay Anthropic directly for AI usage.
