Code Assistant
An open-source AI coding agent, written in Rust, with a native GUI, a terminal mode, and integrations for editors and MCP clients. It runs an autonomous agent loop over your codebase — reading, searching, editing files, and running commands — while keeping you in the loop about what it is actually doing.
Getting started
The quickest way to try it is a prebuilt download — no toolchain required:
- Grab the latest build from the Releases page:
- macOS:
Code-Assistant-macos-aarch64.app.zip(Apple Silicon) orCode-Assistant-macos-x86_64.app.zip(Intel) - Linux:
code-assistant-linux-x86_64.zip - Windows:
code-assistant-windows-x86_64.zip
- macOS:
- Launch it. On first start, code-assistant opens its Settings screen. Pick a provider (there are one-click suggestions for the common ones), paste an API key, and choose a model — that's it.
- Add your project folder from within the app and start a chat.
No hand-editing of JSON files required to get going. (You still can, if you prefer — see the Configuration guide.)
