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.
Agentic coding with parallel AI agents that build and ship real products
Give one goal and several agents work simultaneously on splitting, prioritizing, building and testing tasks, so large jobs finish faster than a single sequential assistant.
Review and adjust the plan before code is written, and keep the full project in context so later requests extend existing work instead of rebuilding it.
Available as a VS Code extension, a JetBrains plugin, and desktop apps for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs plus Windows, so you can work in your usual environment.
Eco Mode uses lower-cost models without spending credits, and bring-your-own-key lets users run the agents on their own model provider credentials.
