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.

a typical founder week

  • Β· monday: scaffold a next.js app with auth, billing, and admin in one agent run.
  • Β· wednesday: refactor the data layer across 80 files. agent runs tests, opens a pr.
  • Β· friday: ship to prod. fix two bugs from a real user before dinner.
