for startups
every model. one ide. no lock-in.
a two-person team that feels like ten. the agent handles boilerplate, the cost dashboard keeps spend honest, and there's no contract to read.
speed-to-v1
agent mode plans, edits, runs tests, opens a pr. founders ship a working v1 over a weekend, not a quarter.
every frontier model
claude, gpt, gemini, local β swap mid-thread, no lock-in. always on the best model for the job.
cost dashboard
per-tool, per-thread, per-user spend. no surprise $4k invoices at the end of the month.
30 built-in tools
no plugin assembly. browser, tests, git, search β everything works on day one.
native & fast
180mb footprint, 28ms autocomplete. your $1k macbook air handles a 200k loc repo.
free forever for hobby
unlimited autocomplete, 200 agent runs / month, community support. real, not a trial.
