theORQL

Piroune Balachandran and his team looked at every AI coding assistant on the market—Cursor, Windsurf, all of them—and realized they were all flying blind. They can write code, sure, but when your React component breaks at runtime or your CSS is rendering wrong in the browser, they can't see what's actually happening. So they built theORQL, the tool that sees your UI exactly like you do.

theORQL integrates directly into Chrome and VS Code (plus WebStorm, Sublime, Vim, and more) and catches the runtime bugs that other AI tools completely miss. We're talking about that specific moment when your app works in dev but explodes in production—when the AI can't help because it's looking at your code, not your rendered UI. theORQL sees the actual DOM, the actual styles, the actual mess you're staring at at 2am. They just launched a free trial with 100 prompt credits so you can test it on your own bugs—no credit card required. Currently running a promo at $19 for 3 months of vision-enabled coding.

The frontend tooling space is getting crowded, but theORQL made a clever move: they stopped pretending AI can debug what it can't see. That's the entire thesis. Eight people on this team and they're taking on the whole "AI coding assistant" market by being the one that actually watches your app run. Bold strategy.
