The universal context engine connecting agents to data, tools, and models
One normalized API connects your product to hundreds of HRIS, payroll, ATS, CRM, accounting, ticketing, and file storage systems with read and write access.
Give agents secure, authenticated access to thousands of pre-built tools across third-party services, with scoped permissions and audit logs.
Route every model through one API with automatic failover, pre-built or custom routing rules, and spend and performance controls.
Distribute approved MCP connectors, models, and skills to employee AI tools with per-team budgets, DLP scanning, and audit logging.
Write code with precision, hand bigger jobs to agents, and keep working from anywhere
Agents open the repository, form a plan, edit multiple files and explain the changes so you can review each diff before accepting it. You can also run several agents in parallel to push a backlog forward.
Point the editor at Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Microsoft or open-weight models, or bring your own key. Pick the Copilot, Claude or Codex harness that matches how you like to work.
JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML and CSS work out of the box, and Marketplace extensions add IntelliSense, linting, refactoring and debuggers for Python, Java, C++, Go, Rust and more.
Integrated terminal, source control, debugger, testing, Jupyter notebooks, an integrated browser and Dev Containers all live in one window, so you stay close to the code.
