Contral is an AI-powered IDE and VS Code extension that teaches developers while they build, by explaining code and architectural decisions in real-time as the AI writes it. It combines vibecoding speed with a 'learn mode' to help developers understand and defend their code, aiming to solve the problem of devs shipping AI-generated code they cannot explain.

Target audience: backend devs, frontend devs, data engineers, junior developers
