Open-source AI pair programming inside your terminal and git repo
Chat with an AI assistant from your shell, have it propose and apply code edits to files in your working directory, and keep full control of the final diff.
Every accepted change becomes a real commit with an auto-written message, so you can inspect, amend, revert or branch AI edits with ordinary git commands.
Aider builds a structural map of your project so the model understands where relevant code lives and can work sensibly in large, multi-file codebases.
Connect hosted models from Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek and others, or point Aider at a locally hosted model to keep code on your own hardware.
Attack-led AI security testing and red teaming
Agent-native reconnaissance maps models, agents, tools, instructions, permissions and behaviours the way an attacker would before launching attacks.
Continuous, adaptive testing of AI agents and systems against evolving attack techniques, rather than one-off audits.
Findings are backed by a knowledge base built from more than 175 publicly disclosed AI vulnerabilities across major AI systems.
Runtime protections and remediation guidance help close defensive gaps and verify that fixes actually hold.
