Introducing the Self-Healing Software!
Self-Healing Software (ClubGPT Healing Agent) Concept and Demo
Last November, I collaborated with an AI agent team to develop some programs, and by December, I had handed over control of my computer to ChatGPT. The use of communicating agents has since become standard practice, and by this November, the project evolved into a product from Anthropic (a leading AI company) known as the “Computer Use” preview.
Development is Just One Aspect…
While AI development frameworks and agents are popping up like mushrooms, there’s less talk about equally critical issues such as operation, support, and enhancements. Since AI can’t independently write for live applications, we often find ourselves iterating, fixing, and testing alongside the AI—tasks that can be tedious, time-consuming, and often involve repetitive AI communication and copy-pasting. The Healing Agent project aims to automate and support this process.
One less glamorous but highly useful feature is that when an error (exception) occurs, it immediately logs all necessary correction information (error message, how we reached the error, current variables and inputs, source code and environmental data) into a file. It then sends this collected data to the AI we’ve configured for advice. This information is also displayed and saved.
Auto-Fix
The intriguing part is that if the AUTO-FIX function is enabled, the designated AI will automatically create and verify a fix after saving the previous version, replacing it in the application and executing it! If necessary, it can do this multiple times. So, in case of an error, the application silently generates the corrected, error-handling code in the background, allowing it to run continuously without stopping for error logging, waiting, or fixing—immediately!
Take It With You
In summary, what do I see as the biggest advantages?
- Speeds up application development by reducing those nerve-wracking debugging times.
- In the case of running tests or even live applications (currently non-commercial software), it not only logs software errors automatically but also provides immediate correction suggestions and fixes.
- If configured properly, it can implement the modifications, streamlining the often tedious process of error reporting, scheduling, retrieval, retesting, and deployment.
Of course, while this is a functioning demo, it remains a preliminary concept, and it’s especially true for all AI systems: caution is essential during its application. AI can make mistakes, and the application may have flaws. Although backups are created for everything, the responsibility lies with the user!
