CodeGPT

What it does

CodeGPT is an AI coding assistant, now open source, built around a BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) model: developers use their own API keys to access models from 15+ AI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, Meta, Mistral, and more) or connect local models via Ollama or LM Studio, keeping full visibility, model flexibility, and cost control. With 2M+ installs, it integrates into Visual Studio Code and JetBrains IDEs, offering agentic coding that plans before it builds, code generation, refactoring, and debugging, MCP connections to APIs, docs, and databases, custom rules for standards-based code, and live context tracking. You review every suggested edit before anything changes. Beyond the extension, CodeGPT (by Judini Inc.) offers AI-First Services for enterprises, including AI voice agents and omnichannel automation.

How to use: Install the CodeGPT extension for Visual Studio Code or the JetBrains plugin and create a free account. Add your own API key from your preferred AI provider (or buy token credits from CodeGPT), then chat with your codebase, use auto-complete, and run agentic coding tasks where CodeGPT plans, suggests edits, and lets you review every step.
