In late 2024, Jake, Sean and Greg teamed up to solve a critical gap emerging in AI coding: preserving human intent. As software creation becomes more agentic, intent is the new source code.

At SpecStory we think the future of software creation is more powerful and accessible when AI enhances human creativity.

• AI is already effective at handling implementation details: human focus on intent and impact has never been more important.
• We're building tools to help vibecoders, software composers and AI-first builders save, search, share and ship with intent.

Our first product is a Visual Studio Code extension that makes it easy to save, search and share your AI chat history.

• It exports your AI chats in searchable structured Markdown that you can version.
• Never lose a great solution, easily share interactions, and use conversation history to refine custom instructions and project rules.

We support Cursor IDE and GitHub Copilot as of release v0.11.0 (changelog).

• For Cursor: It is tested to work for Version: 0.43.6 and later
• For Copilot: It is tested to work for Version: 1.300.0 and later

You can view us on VS Code Marketplace here.

It enables users to:

• Automatically save all AI coding interactions in human and LLM readable Markdown in a special .specstory/history directory in your project.
• Cherry pick exactly what you want to save into a single previewable file.
• Share these coding interactions anonymously on the web with others.
• Derive Rules for AI automatically to align your preferences
