Requirements

Visual Studio Code

The extension requires:

• Visual Studio Code 1.125.0 or later.

Ollama

Local AI Agent is designed to connect to an Ollama server running your selected AI model.

Install Ollama from:

https://ollama.com/

After installing Ollama, make sure the Ollama service is running and that the required model is available.

You can verify your installed models with:

Getting Started

1. Install Local AI Agent in VS Code.
2. Open the Local AI Agent sidebar.
3. Open Settings.
4. Configure the connection to your local AI service.
5. Select the AI model you want to use.
6. Select the appropriate agent and coding scope.
7. Open the Chat panel.
8. Start working with your code through the AI coding agent.

Chat Scope

The agent can work with the scope selected from the chat interface.

Depending on the selected scope, the agent can use:

• The currently open file
• Individual files
• Folders
• Workspace code

Selecting an appropriate scope helps keep the AI context focused on the code you want it to work with.

Privacy

Local AI Agent is designed for local AI development workflows.

When connected to a locally hosted Ollama instance, your code can remain within your local development environment rather than being sent to a third-party hosted AI service.

The actual privacy characteristics depend on how your Ollama server and selected models are configured.

Configuration

Connection and agent configuration can be accessed through the Settings option in the Local AI Agent chat interface.

The available configuration options may change as the extension evolves.

Known Issues

This is an early release of Local AI Agent.

Some functionality may change as the extension continues to evolve. If you encounter an issue, please provide the relevant VS Code version, extension version, model information, and error details when reporting it.
