Trusting AI to Fix Live Code Errors Instantly (I Built Agentfix at a Hackathon)

In December, I participated in the Build With Cursor London hackathon, where the new Cursor SDK was released. I built Agentfix, which lets AI fix live systems without you ever needing to submit a PR.

- It wraps a child process running your application. - It actively monitors the stream for errors as they occur. - The instant an error is detected, the AI (via the Cursor or Claude SDK) is fed the error context and immediately attempts to patch the code on the file system. - The watcher then automatically reloads the web server/application with the fix applied.

This project is a deliberate attempt to put a high degree of trust in AI for real-time system maintenance. The goal is to maximise our precious deep flow state by eliminating annoying bugs, allowing you to focus entirely on vision.
