Description
AskCodi Desktop transforms your development workflow by bringing an AI engineering team directly to your machine. This powerful application features a central CTO agent that orchestrates a swarm of specialist AI engineers. The CTO breaks down complex briefs into manageable tasks, assigns them to individual engineers, and manages their work end-to-end, eliminating the need for constant prompt babysitting.

Engineers operate in parallel within isolated git worktrees, each with its own branch and full shell and MCP access. This setup ensures that backend, frontend, testing, and security agents can work simultaneously without conflicts, leading to clean merges. Before any code is merged, agents review each other's work and run tests, providing you with clean, reviewed diffs. Crucially, your code never leaves your laptop, ensuring privacy and security by default.
AskCodi Desktop supports over 50 models from major providers, allowing you to use your existing Claude or OpenAI subscriptions without additional costs. This flexibility means you're not locked into a single model. The platform is designed for efficiency, enabling you to ship features faster and with higher quality, mimicking the output of a senior engineering team.
For those who prefer not to install the desktop application, AskCodi offers a web chat interface. This browser-based tool allows quick questions and interaction with any of the 50+ supported models. However, the desktop app is where the heavy lifting of complex development tasks occurs. AskCodi Desktop is free to download for Mac, Windows, and Linux, trusted by over 400,000 users worldwide.
Beyond the desktop app, AskCodi also provides an OpenAI-compatible API, serving as a drop-in replacement across various providers. The original AskCodi platform is also available for programmatic and marketplace use cases, with the option to build and publish custom agents with unique instructions, tools, and knowledge bases.
