This project is finally over and I regret forgetting to post devlogs about it.

This is Warden: An agentic windows sytstem troubleshooter.

I spent a week trying to think of an agentic tool which is original, everything I thought of had already been built. During the brainstorming phase, I ran into wifi problems which led me to think of building an agentic system troubleshooter for windows.

I quickly wrote down the idea on a page and described it with as much detail as I could and then showed it to my friends. They loved the idea but worried about the feasibility, I assured them and said that it didn’t matter because the important thing is what you learn from it.

I spent another week trying to brainstorm the features and the technical aspects and when we were ready, we all started building.

After some time, we were ready with the first draft. It wasn’t great, the ui was very bad but it was a start. Soon after, we hired claude code and spent hours trying to debug and improve the badly written code in hopes of learning from our mistakes.

This went on for some time.

Eventually, the first version was ready and it passed all the tests. But, it still failed to actually troubleshoot real windows errors.

In the end, we realized that with 0 funds and a team of 5 lazy students, it wasn’t possible to compete with the folks at microsoft who built the not so useful windows troubleshooter.
