EpiDev - Provider Agnostic AI Harness IDE (Powered by VS Code)

The updated code works, Gabe - thank you!

Have you sorted this out yet? Just wondering if I should be fighting with it, or just use basic auth

use basic for now, i believe.

Basic Auth is still the only fully supported path,

I need access to an environment with SSO/IDP active to complete :wink:

Hi All,

EpiDev is now available in the VS Code Marketplace! It will auto update in place from your currently installed .vsix.

This version adds a nice SQL to BAQ editor! Type up your SQL statement, execute it, run it. adjust it as needed til you get the data you want, save it as a BAQ :slight_smile:

AI can of course still write the SQL or BAQ for you, but you know, if you want more control :slight_smile:

Awesome and good timing.

If my SQL to BAQ fails, how can I find out why? I don’t see anything in the output

Could you please dm me the input? It should be feeding back analyzeex output but it may be failing at the internal validation stage and not properly generating diagnostics.

Fix should be available in the VS Code Extension store shortly.

This was a silent failure on my internal BAQ validation - Epicor does not allow multiple instances of a table alias in a single query, each must be unique

I’ve included the relevant diagnostics output in the new build :slight_smile:

:tada: This is the best extension ever! You should put your URL into the OP though https://epidev.ai/

Hey everyone!

Just an update that EpiDev has now been released commercially and is available in the VS Code Marketplace!

Donators should have a thank you email with a limited time complimentary access key, if you have donated and not received your key, please let me know.

We continue to add new features to EpiDev daily! EpiDev now has a the ability to tie into your web browser (like Codex / Claude Code does) and use it to get a visual on app studio apps as it iterates.

You can pair-program with the AI, showing it things in the browser and asking it to learn from it, or load up another app in the browser and tell the AI to use that app as a base for your new app!

Registering an account will give you access to EpiDev’s free Community version (read-only) which allows you to do neat things like ask a question about your data, and it will build the query and reply to you with the data on the fly!

Pro gives you access to the read/write abilities of EpiDev which allows it to develop within Epicor/Kinetic for you, bringing prompt engineering to Epicor!

I’d like to add a bit about safety. There are different modes: read-only, write, and live. Live being the most restrictive mode designed for production environments.

Our recommended workflow is that you make write-mode changes in a non-production environment, and manually move any created solutions to production. Gabe has put a lot of work into making the tool pipelines as structured as possible but AI itself is non-deterministic by nature, meaning caution should be taken. It is not recommended to enable write on live environments, as tempting as it is to have the AI do everything.

I’ve personally used the read-only for prod and get tons of value in problem solving or general data inquiries that would have otherwise taken longer if done so myself. I am myself fully invested in AI and don’t connect it directly to write on production.

Edit: Also to note, you are using your own AI provider, so please carefully consider data options with those providers. This means disabling training, using enterprise/business subscriptions, and even carefully using models like Claude Fable 5 that log all prompts regardless (though stated not for training, just safety).

The wiki explains more and screenshots are coming soon!

Same here and it’s helped a ton tracking down correlation issues users report. No way would I grant write to PROD. I’m nervous enough having it have write in PILOT. :rofl:

Great work Gabe! Our team has tested the extension and we are already very excited to what we can get it to do!!! We are going to scale the F up with that! We’ll all get geared with your tool in the next weeks or so !

I really like this extension! There are a lot of hidden treasures. Want to know if you have used UD Tables?

The latest version that is posting to the VS Code Marketplace now adds deep inspection of app studio components while running, and you can poke properties/dataviews live to see the effect (set / un set hidden, disabled, etc.)

I’ve also included the on-hover informational popup from Dev Tools that shows you the active company, plant, layer(s), etc.

I promise that I will slow down adding features and write a help document at some point :wink:

Reminder, the read-only community edition is free to use with an account! EpiDev can help you diagnose troublesome issues, write reports based on your log, etc.!

Its simply amazing what this tool can do.
Well done!

A total game changer. Some UI bug that would take me hours to identify, now takes minutes.

It is a great tool and gets better by the day.

Great tool. Keep up the good work!
