ship code faster.think less. ship more.
hellocode ai coding ide that's 800% faster and lighter than the rest.
write, refactor, and ship at the speed of thought.
trusted by teams at
a native ide, engineered
to outpace every other tool.
we rebuilt every layer — editor, indexer, model router, agent runtime — for one goal: zero friction between thought and shipped code.

magically accurate autocomplete.
our specialized tab model predicts your next action across multiple lines with striking speed and precision. p99 under 30ms. trained on your repo, not the public internet.

cloud agents use their own machines to build, test, and demo features end-to-end for you to review. queue dozens of tasks. wake up to working pull requests.

the ide, four ways.
from the overview down to a single search result — every layer of hellocode is designed to fade out of your way.
an ide that actually knows your codebase.
most ides forget your project the moment you close the tab. hellocode remembers — with a live architecture map and a durable knowledge vault the agent reads from on every task.
project atlas
an auto-mapped architecture graph of your whole repo. crates, packages, modules, and import edges — rendered live as you code.

a durable store of specs, decisions, and project rules. the agent reads from it on every task — and writes back what it learns.

"it was night and day. adoption went from single digits to over 80%. it spread like wildfire — all the best builders were on hellocode."
"every one of our 40,000 engineers is now assisted by hellocode. our productivity has gone up incredibly."
"the autonomy slider is the killer idea. tab when you want surgical edits, agent when you want to ship a whole feature."
"we cut our context-switch cost to zero. it just keeps up."

estimates based on average token + infra usage to reach a working mvp. freelance figures based on typical upwork rates of $35–45/hr. your numbers will vary — start free and see your own.
answers to the important stuff.
our indexer is rewritten in rust, our autocomplete runs on a 180mb footprint, and agents are tuned for surgical multi-file edits. cold start is under two seconds on a fresh m-series mac.

yes. hellocode is 100% vs code extension compatible. your themes, keybindings, and extensions move over in one click.
never. zero retention is the default for every plan, including the free tier. business adds sso, audit logs, and a vpc-peered deployment option.
yes. enterprise customers can route requests to a self-hosted model gateway. your code never leaves your network.
