Hi Isaac, This is a hard problem and an area of active research. Search for "program synthesis" [1] to see a selection of work in this field. Generally programs are built from descriptions in formal languages which are much more structured than Org-mode, although some have also tried to automatically write programs from man pages [2]. Armando Solar-Lezama's work [3] is related if we are including code snippets in Org-mode code blocks, namely "program sketching" [4] which attempts to build programs from incomplete program-language sketches and test cases.
