The assistant that reads your schema before you finish typing.
200K context means the whole file fits. Streaming means you read the first sentence before it writes the last. And $8 of your $20 becomes ten meals through the World Food Programme.
Paste an unfamiliar codebase and ask what it does.
Long context is the point. Drop a 40K-line service, a schema dump, or a controller and its tests. LADLE reads the whole thing before answering — no chunk truncation, no stitched summaries.
Draft the fix, not just the description of the fix.
Copy-ready code blocks with a language tag and syntax highlighting. Ask it to migrate a file — you get the migration, not a lecture. Ask it to add error handling — you get the new lines, in the same style you're already using.
Explain a stack trace like a colleague would.
Paste the trace, the query, or the log line. LADLE walks the actual cause — the pool exhaustion, the deadlock, the missing index — instead of a generic 'have you tried restarting' answer.
You're already paying $20/mo for an assistant. LADLE is the same product, and $8 of it becomes ten meals through the UN World Food Programme every month.

It's Claude Sonnet — same class of model most developers use as their day-to-day pair. For unfamiliar languages or obscure libraries, verify. For mainstream stacks (TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust, Swift, SQL), it's production-quality.
