Iam 12 . My web mentor KODA Is Now in Your Editor. Here Is How I Built a Cursor-Killer Extension on a $150 Phone.

I am 12 years old. My development machine is a POCO C55 ($150 USD). I live in Tamil Nadu, India. For months, KODA lived on the web. It taught beginners how to code using the "Problem → Cause → Solution → Practice" method. It spoke every language on Earth. It survived model deprecations with a fallback chain. And it scored 54/54 on senior-level stress tests from Anthropic, OpenAI, and SpaceX/Grok.…

A 12-year-old boy named Harun built a browser-based AI coding tool called KODA, which is now available as an extension for Visual Studio Code and Cursor. The extension is built entirely on a $150 phone, without TypeScript, bundler, or node_modules. It functions through a three-step agentic loop - context gathering, secure transmission to a Cloudflare Worker, and intelligent processing and execution.

The extension incorporates Constitutional AI Safety, unlimited language support, live web search, and a fallback chain resilience. The architecture is lightweight, with a total footprint of 45KB. The extension can be downloaded from GitHub and installed in VS Code or Cursor by pressing Ctrl+Shift+P -> Extensions: Install from VSIX... and selecting the downloaded file.
