Ava Supernova

One AI partner. Every part of building.

Ava is the AI coding agent that does everything between the idea and the ship — and remembers it all so the next time gets easier. Engineer your features. Design your assets. Teach you what you don't know. Audit your security. Plan your strategy. Brainstorm what's next. All from inside VS Code.

Install, open, go. No account. No credit card. No trial. Bring your own API key, or sign up for 300 free credits a month.

The full picture

Ava isn't a single tool. She's a partner who plays multiple roles depending on what you need:

• Engineer — plans the work, executes task by task, ships code you can stand behind
• Designer — designs whole brand identities: real logo systems, icons, images, video and voiceovers, wired straight into your project
• Tutor — builds personalised learning paths from scratch and teaches them like a real teacher
• Strategist — plans features, audits architecture, researches your competitors
• Security auditor — full OWASP-aligned scan with verified findings, not noise
• Writer — authors real documents (reports, proposals, letters, articles) and exports branded Word & PDF — edit by talking, never lose your formatting
• Assistant — drafts emails, writes reports, builds spreadsheets, drives a browser
• Coach — builds fitness and meal plans from a real exercise and recipe library
• Friend — checks in, remembers your goals, journals with you

Switch roles with a keystroke. Same brain. Same memory. Different mindset.

Ask Ava what can you do? and she'll read her own source code and tell you herself.

Honest by construction

Every claim of completion — "it's fixed", "tests pass", "deployed" — is checked against the tools Ava actually ran that turn. If a claim isn't backed by evidence, a built-in honesty gate flags it rather than letting it stand as fact. Same discipline a good engineer uses on a junior's PR — review, don't merge on trust — built into the agent itself. Always on; not a setting you can switch off.

Three fleets, three jobs

You don't pick a model. You pick the work, and the right fleet falls out of it. Two fleets ship today; a third is rolling out.

On a plan, Maestro and Aurora are live; Supernova's managed version is in preview. With your own keys, each fleet unlocks from the keys it needs:

• Maestro — a Qwen key.
• Aurora — a Mistral key.
• Supernova — DeepSeek + Qwen keys.

BYOK users also get the raw individual models (Claude, Kimi, GLM, and more) per the keys they've added.

7 Modes — One Ava, Seven States of Thought

Modes aren't tool restrictions. They're states of mind. The toolkit and the persona team change to match the work.

Switch with the dropdown or Ctrl+Shift+1 through Ctrl+Shift+7.

As Your Engineer

Ava approaches your features the way a real engineer would, not the way a fast autocomplete does.

She plans first. She reads your codebase, recalls past decisions from memory, designs an approach, and presents it for your approval. You see the steps, the files involved, the verification, and the alternatives — before anything changes.

She executes task by task. Once you approve, her Builder agents run each step in sequence. Each Builder gets its own clean context window with the right tools for the job. The work stays focused, the conversation stays cheap, and you see progress task by task.

She pauses on real blockers. If a step needs your input — a credential, an env var, a design decision — she stops and asks rather than guessing.

She summarises when done. Each Builder reports back. You get a clean recap of what got built, tested, and committed — not a wall of tool calls.

Her internal team activates for complex work: Scout → Architect → Verifier → Sequencer → Challenger → Builder. Simple questions skip orchestration entirely — zero overhead.

Pick the fleet that fits the job: Maestro (a tier-differentiated Qwen ensemble — the predictable daily driver), Aurora (the EU-sovereign Mistral stack — open weights, never leaves EU infrastructure), or Supernova (the polyglot — DeepSeek V4 Pro coordinates, Qwen 3.7 Plus builds, V4 Flash takes chat and mid-tier; runs today on your DeepSeek + Qwen keys, managed version in preview).

As Your Designer

Ava ships with a Creative Studio that generates real assets and integrates them into your projects.

Logos and icons are built, not guessed. Ava composes them from geometric primitives and real fonts into clean, resolution-independent SVG — so a mark stays razor-sharp at any size and drops straight into your favicon or JSX. She'll show you several directions and let you pick the one that fits.

Brand kits tie it together. Set your name, palette and fonts once, and every asset Ava makes inherits them. Image and video run on Wan, voice on Qwen3-TTS — Alibaba's open-weight models.

The integration is the point. When Ava designs a logo, she can drop it into your public/ folder and reference it in your JSX. When she generates a hero video, she can wire it into your landing page. The Creative Studio isn't a separate app — it's a tool Ava uses in the middle of building your project.

Every asset is tracked in the Library tab — grid or list view, filter by type, preview, copy paths, and reuse across projects. A full logo system saves as one grouped card, so all its variants stay together.

As Your Tutor

Tell Ava what you want to learn and she becomes a real teacher. Teach runs on the same credits as every other mode — so the 300 free each month gets the Free tier learning at no cost.

Ava builds the curriculum from scratch. Tell her what you want — "teach me Rust for game development", "help me get good at React Server Components" — and her Curriculum Architect designs a full learning path: modules, lessons, prerequisites, exercises, projects, quizzes — sequenced to your level and goal.

Ava delivers the lessons herself. Her Tutor persona teaches one lesson at a time. Socratic, adaptive. She checks you actually understood, explains your mistakes without making you feel bad, and tracks progress with spaced repetition.

Every lesson is fact-checked before delivery. Her Fact Checker verifies code examples, API signatures, and version-specific details against the live web before she says it out loud.

She remembers your learning. Build a feature later that uses something she taught you, and she references it: "remember when we covered dependency injection? Same pattern here."

As Your Strategist

Two modes for thinking work, no code touched until you approve.

Plan mode — read-only architecture and proposal work. The Researcher gathers evidence (codebase, web, memory). The Architect designs the approach. The Challenger questions every decision. Output is a structured plan you can approve or reject.

Brainstorm mode — for ideation and decision-making. The Explorer mines your context. The Researcher checks the market. The Ideator generates options. The Challenger cuts the weak ones. The Refiner turns survivors into "here's what you do Monday morning" plans.

As Your Security Auditor

Security mode runs a full OWASP-aligned scan with five specialist personas:

1. Recon — maps your attack surface (entry points, dependencies, auth model)
2. Scanner — systematically checks every OWASP Top 10 category
3. CVE Researcher — looks up known vulnerabilities in your specific dependency versions
4. Verifier — confirms each finding is real and exploitable, eliminates false positives
5. Reporter — produces a structured report with severity, file:line, fix, and priority

Every finding references real code in your repo. Every CVE is matched to your actual versions. False positives get killed before you see them.

As Your Assistant

The work that isn't code, but still has to happen:

• Office suite — generates real native files, not screenshots:
  • Emails (.docx) with tone-aware fonts (serif for formal, sans-serif for casual)
  • Reports (.docx) — board briefs, sprint reviews, weekly status pulled from your tasks, journal, memory, and git history
  • Documents & spreadsheets (.docx, .xlsx, .pdf, .csv, .md)
• Browser automation — drives a visible Chromium window via Playwright when a task needs real-world interaction: navigate, snapshot the DOM, click, fill forms, scrape. Fully opt-in, approved on first use. Desktop-level automation (app control, screen capture) lives in the dedicated Ava IDE, not this extension.
• Tasks — track work across global and project scopes, synced to the dashboard
• Journal — your entry and Ava's, side by side, with mood tracking and streaks
• Daily briefing — a proactive morning check-in: today's tasks, overdue items, journal streak, learning progress

As Your Writer

A dedicated Write mode for anyone who writes — reports, proposals, letters, articles — with no coding required.

You write in plain words; she handles the document. Tell Ava what you need, or start from a worked template, and she drafts it properly: headings, tables, callouts, even a cover image she generates herself. When it's ready, she exports a branded Word document or PDF.

Edit by talking, and never lose your formatting. Say "tighten the pricing section" and Ava changes just that part — the rest stays exactly as it was. You watch it render live.

It's yours. Save a document you love as a reusable template, and pin your brand — fonts and colours — so every new document inherits it. The source is plain Markdown, so nothing's ever locked in.

As Your Health & Fitness Coach

Ava's care goes past the codebase. Health mode adds a full fitness and nutrition arm — same free-for-everyone posture as the rest of Ava.

A real catalogue. Exercises across every style — strength, hypertrophy, conditioning, HIIT, mobility, yoga, pilates, recovery, running, cycling, hybrid — and recipes across every course: breakfast, mains, starters, sides, snacks, desserts. Search, filter, open any entry for full detail. Submit your own, too.

Plans built around you. Tell Ava your goal and she generates a structured fitness, meal, or combined plan — day by day, shaped by your profile: level, goals, dietary needs, schedule. Track each day as you go.

Same memory, same Ava. The goals you set and the progress you log live in the same memory as your code decisions — so it all connects.

What Ties It All Together — Memory

Every role above uses the same memory. That's why Ava gets better at helping you specifically over time.

A dedicated Memory Agent curates a short brief of what's relevant to your current message instead of dumping raw memories into the conversation. Context stays lean. Recall stays sharp.

Local-first by default. Nothing leaves your machine unless you explicitly turn on cloud sync.

Yours by Design

Custom personality — same brain, your style:

• Name — call her Ava, or anything else
• Pronouns — she/her, he/him, they/them
• Tone — warm, direct, playful, professional, dry wit
• Energy — calm, enthusiastic, measured, excitable
• Style — concise, detailed, conversational, structured

20 languages — full UI translation, auto-detected from your locale or set manually. Code stays English; conversation matches you.

Local-first storage — memory, tasks, journal, learning, history, settings, personality all stored on your machine. Cloud sync is opt-in, with full delta tracking so you see exactly what's about to be pushed.

API keys encrypted in your OS keychain. Credentials blocked from memory at runtime. No analytics, no telemetry, no screen captures. Prompt-injection resistance built in.

Tools

60+ user-facing tools, grouped for the work you actually do. Ava decides which to use, runs them, reads the results, and keeps reasoning.

Models

Every plan gets every managed model. Tiers differ only on monthly credit allowance — never on which models are available. Bring your own key for any provider, including a local endpoint for a fully free, fully offline agent.

Quick Start

1. Install from the VS Code Marketplace
2. Click the Ava icon in the activity bar (or Ctrl+Shift+A)
3. Sign up for 300 free credits a month, or bring your own API keys in Settings
4. Pick a mode and start

No account. No credit card. No trial.

Privacy

• API keys encrypted in your OS keychain (VS Code SecretStorage)
• All memory and conversation data stored locally by default
• Export everything as readable JSON, or a passphrase-encrypted .ava-backup you can move between devices — your data, in your hands
• Credentials blocked from memory at runtime
• Streaming-safe redaction — high-confidence key patterns are scrubbed from chat output before they hit the screen
• Capability-based secret access — Ava receives opaque handles instead of raw values, scoped to the current chat session
• Prompt-injection resistance built in
• No analytics, no telemetry, no screen captures
• You control what syncs and when

Shared Learning (opt-in)

An optional Contribute Shared Learning setting (off by default). When enabled, anonymised feedback signals — message ratings, the model and mode used, and a timestamp — are shared to improve response quality. No code, no conversation content, no personal data is ever shared. Disable any time in Settings.

Terms

Code context is sent only to your chosen AI provider for processing. All memory and conversation data is stored locally on your machine. Cloud sync is opt-in only.
