Choir Code
Free AI coding assistant powered by distributed consensus.
No API keys. No subscriptions. No corporate servers. Your code stays private.
What it does
- Chat with AI (streaming responses)
- Inline code completions
- Right-click context menu: Explain / Fix selection
- 6 profiles (Code, Architect, Debug, Refactor, Security, Fast)
- Privacy-first: code never leaves your machine
- P2P consensus: responses verified by multiple nodes
- 100 free credits/day (resets automatically)
Zero-config install
Just install the extension. It handles everything:
- Downloads Ollama (if needed)
- Pulls the model (qwen2.5-coder:0.5b)
- Starts a local AGIChoir node
- Connects to the P2P network
You're coding in under 60 seconds.
How it works
You type > Local node processes > P2P consensus verifies > Verified response
When peers are available (2+ nodes), your responses are cryptographically verified by multiple independent machines. When alone, you get fast local inference.

Privacy
- Code stays local for simple tasks
- Only prompts go to network (when consensus is needed)
- Feedback stores hashes only (no code content by default)
- Ed25519 signatures verify every response
- No telemetry, no tracking, no corporate servers
Vision
AGIChoir transforms idle computational resources into collective intelligence. Every participant contributes, every participant benefits. No energy is wasted — every cycle produces real AI computation.
The network is a living organism: it grows, adapts, and improves through the contributions of its participants.
