CodeCompanion — AI Coding Assistant
CodeCompanion is an AI-native IDE and coding assistant designed to help you build apps, fix bugs, and refactor code up to 10x faster. It integrates with your local environment, can execute shell commands, read outputs, browse the web, and automatically fix developer console errors and warnings. It operates with access to all the tools a human software developer would need, and all data is stored locally on your system to maximize privacy and security.
How CodeCompanion Works
- It researches your entire project to locate all relevant information and files before executing tasks.
- It provides an integrated terminal and a browser for live documentation and web browsing to update your code with the latest information.
- It can read outputs from shell commands, navigate websites to fetch documentation, and apply fixes directly to your codebase.
- Semantic code search and per-project instructions make it adaptable to any project size.
Supported Platforms & Accessibility
- Available for Mac and Windows (downloadable builds).
- Works with any size project and integrates with your existing development workflow.
- Local data storage ensures user privacy and data security.
How to Use CodeCompanion
- Set up and connect your project. Install CodeCompanion and link your local project.
- Provide a task or goal. For example: fix a bug, refactor a module, or implement a feature.
- CodeCompanion researches your project and presents relevant files, dependencies, and context.
- Run commands or edits directly within the integrated terminal or editor-like interface.
- Browse docs as needed. Use the built-in browser to pull latest documentation and update your code accordingly.
- Review and test. Validate changes locally; CodeCompanion can also help fix console errors and warnings automatically.
Safety and Security Considerations
- All data is stored locally on your system; no data is uploaded to external servers by default.
- Use responsibly: review automated changes before applying them to critical systems.
