The teaching layer that explains every line your AI coding agent writes
Every line your agent writes is explained as it happens, covering what the code does, why it was written that way and the intended goal, in the same window.
A VS Code extension brings the teaching layer to Cursor, Copilot, Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cline, Kilo Code, Windsurf, Antigravity and more without changing your agent.
Plan, Fast, Deep and Recursive modes let you propose before writing, iterate quickly, reason deeply, or let the recursive agent plan multi-step work.
49+ prerequisite-locked topics, projects, graded checkpoints and boss exams inside the IDE, with a hint economy earned by completing topics.
Open-source workflow automation built for AI agents and technical teams
Build automations with a visual node editor, then insert JavaScript or Python code nodes when you need custom logic.
Connect to 500+ native services, any REST API via HTTP nodes, and any agent or coding assistant through MCP.
Run agents alongside regular steps, inspect every decision, and add structured inputs, guardrails and human approval steps.
Watch workflows execute live, open past runs, replay a run with mocked data and re-run just the step that failed.
