Roku developers face significant productivity barriers: fragmented documentation, lack of modern development tools, steep BrightScript learning curve, and limited intelligent code support—leading to 30-40% of development time spent searching for basic information. Econify decided to develop a tool to aid developer workflow.
The project aimed to modernize Roku development by reducing documentation search time by 60%, accelerating new developer onboarding from weeks to days, and providing intelligent code assistance comparable to other platforms. Strategic objectives included improving overall development velocity by 40-55%, reducing senior developer interruptions, and creating a foundation for scalable Roku development practices.
Econify developed an AI-powered developer assistant that seamlessly integrates into existing workflows through a custom-trained LLM specialized in Roku documentation and BrightScript syntax. The solution features a VSCode plugin delivering intelligent autocomplete for BrightScript and SceneGraph, paired with natural language Q&A capabilities that provide instant documentation answers. Designed for zero-training deployment, the tool delivers immediate productivity benefits without requiring team onboarding or workflow changes.
The tool transforms development experience with immediate ROI through time savings (up to 15-20 hours/developer/month), accelerated onboarding, and reduced coding errors—while establishing foundation for modern, scalable Roku development practices.
