I — Main Benefits

Same AI, better transfer.

Nodarama Verbatim is not another AI model. It is the local workflow layer that helps AI output become traceable, recoverable project work.

Precision / Intent

Record a Perfect Copy

Project overview, scoped files, dynamic lists, and intent signals help AI output land with fewer side quests and more accuracy.

Precision Transfer

Logging / Tracking

Transparent Playback

System logs, AI logs, code diffs, run history, and restore points make each change easier to inspect, understand, and recover.

Clear Playback

Corrective / Proactive

Run That Back

Diagnostics, failed attempt tracking, repair suggestions, undo support, and recovery paths keep mistakes manageable — not session-ending.

Back That Up

II — Recording DUBS

Tape to tape. Chat to code.

The Diagnostics Hub gives you a heads-up display for high-fidelity transfers: recent changes, errors, diagnostics, and enhancement suggestions at a glance.

Question. Parse. Record. Review. Done. Every change stays on the reel.

IV — Getting Started

From download to first build.

Getting started with Nodarama Verbatim takes minutes. Here's the basic workflow to get your first AI-assisted change into a real project file.

  • Download & install — unzip Verbatim and run the installer for your OS. Node.js 18+ is required.
  • Create a project — point Verbatim at your project folder. It reads the structure without touching your files.
  • Ask your AI — use Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or a local model. Ask it to write or fix code for your project.
  • Record — paste or push the AI's response into Verbatim. It parses and targets the right files.
  • Review & confirm — inspect the diff, approve changes. Verbatim writes only what you confirm.
  • Restore anytime — every session creates a restore point. Roll back any change, any time.

V — Workflow Tips

Getting more out of every session.

The intent repo is your secret weapon — keep it updated and every new chat starts informed.

Use the project overview and scoping tools before each AI session. Verbatim's intent repo stores your project goals, constraints, and decisions so you can drop them into any new chat without re-explaining everything from scratch. The more context your AI has, the more accurate the code it returns — and the cleaner the transfer.

VI — Requirements

What you need to run Verbatim.

Nodarama Verbatim is a local desktop application. It runs on your machine, not in the cloud — your project files never leave your system unless you choose to share them.

  • OS: Windows 10/11 or macOS 12+
  • Runtime: Node.js 18 or higher
  • Browser: Chrome or Chromium-based browser for the Go Extension (when available)
  • Local AI (optional): LM Studio for local model support — no cloud required
  • Disk: ~200MB for the app, plus your project files
VII — Support & FAQ

Common Questions

Do I need to be an experienced developer?

No. Nodarama Verbatim is designed for people learning quickly with AI who want cleaner transfer into real project work. If you can write a prompt, you can use Verbatim.

Does Nodarama Verbatim replace my AI tools?

No. It works alongside the AI tools you already use — Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, or local models. Verbatim handles the transfer; your AI handles the thinking.

Can I use local AI models?

Yes. Nodarama Verbatim supports local model workflows including LM Studio-based setups. No internet connection required for the core transfer workflow.

Can I recover from a bad AI change?

Yes. Recovery, logging, restore support, and corrective workflows are core to the system. Every session creates a restore point before any change is written. You can roll back individual changes or entire sessions.

What if AI keeps changing the wrong files?

Use project scoping to explicitly tell Verbatim which files are in play. Scoped sessions prevent AI output from touching files outside the defined boundary.

Is my code sent anywhere?

No. Verbatim runs locally. Your project files stay on your machine. Only the content you explicitly send to an AI chat service leaves your system — and that's entirely in your control.

What languages and frameworks does it support?

Verbatim is language-agnostic. If your AI can write it and it lives in a text file, Verbatim can transfer it. HTML, CSS, JS, Python, PHP, and more — it reads and writes whatever your project uses.

How do I get support or report a bug?

Email info@nodarama.com with your system details and a description of the issue. As a beta product, your feedback directly shapes the next release.
