Overview

Builder.io Micro Agent is a CLI coding tool that generates a test and iterates on an implementation until that test passes.

Builder.io Micro Agent is a CLI coding tool that generates a test and iterates on an implementation until that test passes.

Use a natural-language request to produce a test and repeatedly generate code against it. The README describes a bounded, typically single-file workflow and experimental visual matching, rather than an end-to-end software developer.

Run the npm CLI with a configured provider. The README documents OpenAI, Claude, Ollama and OpenAI-compatible custom endpoints. Builder.io Visual Copilot is a separate optional design-to-code workflow.

MIT-licensed software with no library subscription. Hosted model API calls and other external services are billed separately; running a local model requires suitable local infrastructure.

Autonomy level

76/100

Our subjective rating of how independently the product carries out its documented tasks, considering the human setup, input, approval and review it needs. This is not a measured success rate.

Reasoning: Micro Agent generates a test for a supplied requirement and iterates on code until the test passes. Developers define the requirement and inspect both the test and implementation, keeping the task small and well specified.
