Cali is an AI agent designed to assist developers in building React Native applications by exposing CLI functionalities to Large Language Models (LLMs). It aims to streamline development by abstracting away complex commands, error troubleshooting, and dependency management, targeting React Native developers seeking a more intuitive workflow.

How It Works

Cali integrates React Native CLI utilities and functions as tools for LLMs. This allows an LLM to understand and execute development tasks, such as building, managing devices, and handling dependencies, directly through natural language prompts. This approach simplifies the development process by reducing the need for developers to memorize specific commands or manually resolve issues.
