The Tool That Investigated Me While I Was Building It

I didn't plan ECHO Hunt.

It came out of a simple question I kept sitting with: when you build something with AI, did you actually learn anything — or did the AI just carry you through it and you called it progress?

That question has weight when you're building alone. No CS degree, no bootcamp, no senior developer to tell you what you missed. Just you, an AI, and a string of errors that may or may not mean anything. That's how I build. That's how most people building with AI today build. And nobody has a tool that tells you the truth about what actually happened in a session.
