What is Codey

Codey is a local-first AI development operating system that runs from your machine. It provides a private workspace for building apps, running coding agents, automating workflows, and connecting 70+ AI providers. Codey keeps your code and projects on your computer, giving you control over which AI provider touches your work.

How to use Codey

1. Download and install Codey from the official website.
2. Connect your AI providers – use Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, OpenRouter, local models, or any of 70+ supported providers.
3. Choose your mode:
   • Co-Pilot: Work alongside agents Prometheus (build) and Athena (planning) for hands-on development.
   • Autopilot: Let Matis build full production web apps from idea to polished Next.js experience.
   • Workpilot: Let Hermes handle research, documents, spreadsheets, slides, PDFs, browsing, and n8n automation.
4. Start building – use the desktop or TUI interface to code, run agents, and automate workflows.
