Chat with OpenAI Assistants without leaving your VS Code editor
Talk to your OpenAI assistants in a side panel without leaving VS Code or switching to a browser.
Pull in source code from your current workspace so answers reflect the files you are actually editing.
Connect the assistants you have already configured in your OpenAI account, each with its own instructions and tools.
Manage your OpenAI account connection within the editor rather than sharing keys elsewhere.

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.
