What can Qodo Gen do?

Qodo Gen uses advanced AI models, agents, Modes, Workflows, and tools (MCPs) to deeply understand your code’s structure, logic, and context.

With Qodo Gen, you can:

  • Streamline your development workflow straight from the IDE.
  • Improve code quality.
  • Uncover potential bugs.
  • Understand your code better.
  • Ease your PR process.
  • Generate test suites and documentation.
  • Automate repetitive coding tasks.

And much more.

Agents: Modes and Workflows

Qodo Gen introduces Modes and Workflows, powerful ways to customize how agents assist you.

Modes

Modes are persona-driven AI agents for ongoing, context-aware conversations.
They maintain state and can use MCP tools to help with multi-step tasks like code review, architecture planning, or iterative development.

Examples of Modes:

  • Ask Mode – Quick answers with minimal tool usage.
  • Code Mode – Full-featured coding assistant with access to all tools.
  • Plan Mode – High-level reasoning for design decisions and system planning.

Use Modes when you need a continuous AI partner while coding.


Workflows

Workflows are single-task AI agents that execute a defined process from start to finish.
They are perfect for repeatable or automated tasks like:

  • Generating documentation
  • Running and fixing test suites
  • Performing code maintenance tasks

Workflows execute, deliver results, and end automatically.


Sharing and Reuse

Both Modes and Workflows can be:

  • Shared with your team as a .toml file
  • Uploaded into Qodo Gen to instantly reuse someone else’s setup

This makes collaboration and standardization effortless across projects.


Qodo Gen Chat

Qodo Gen Chat offers real-time coding assistance within your development environment. Use Qodo Gen Chat to:

  • Ask free-style questions about your code:
    Get instant answers to any question using AI-powered free-form queries.

  • Improve your code:
    From making it more secure to beautifying and cleaning it.

  • Understand your code better:
    Simplify onboarding for new or junior developers by providing in-depth insights into your codebase.

  • Generate unit tests and test suites:
    Secure and eliminate bugs in your code by adding extensive testing.

Agentic Tools (MCPs): Integrate external services into Qodo Gen Chat

Hook into an external tool to make your development experience smoother than ever.

Using Agentic Tools, the options are limitless:

  • Hook into your GitHub project and ask for information about PRs or help writing better commit messages.
  • Set up a connection to Jira and ask "Find me a Jira ticket about creating an authentication protocol" in the chat and get relevant information from your Jira project.
  • Connect Qodo Gen to your Terminal to quickly create files and obtain information from your filesystem.

Code Completion

Qodo Gen Code Generation and Completion is a powerful tool designed to accelerate your coding process, reducing the need for repetitive tasks such as copying and pasting code snippets from the internet.
By enabling Code Completion, Qodo Gen learns from your codebase and provides real-time suggestions that seamlessly integrate with your writing flow.

As you type, Qodo Gen analyzes your code in real-time to grasp your intention. It then presents code completions and suggestions aimed to complete your current line of code or offers snippets that fit the context of your work.
