Bee — The Progressive Intelligence Engine (VS Code)
Domain-specialized AI by Bee, right in your editor — a
real chat panel plus inline code explain / refactor / test / fix. Bee
auto-routes each question to the right specialization from its domain library
(programming, AI, cybersecurity, quantum, fintech, science, engineering, finance,
and more) — what's available depends on your plan and tenant — and you pick the
model tier.
Features
- Bee chat panel — open the Bee icon in the activity bar. Multi-turn chat
with a New-chat action, sign-out, and an options bar.
- Auto domain routing — Bee classifies your question and routes it to the
right specialization automatically. Which specializations are available is
governed by your plan and tenant (Bee gates this server-side).
- Model tiers — switch between Cell (free) and Brood, Comb, Buzz, Hive,
Swarm (paid plans).
- Ask Bee (
⌘⇧B / Ctrl+Shift+B) — ask from anywhere.
- Right-click on a selection → Explain, Refactor, Write Tests, or Fix Bug.
Sign in
Run Bee: Sign In (or click a button in the chat panel). Two ways:
- Sign in with Bee (recommended) — opens your browser, you log in to your Bee
account the normal way (email code), and you're brought straight back to the
editor signed in. No copy-paste.
- Use an API key — create a
bee_sk_… key at
bee.heossi.com and paste it.
Either way your credential is stored in VS Code SecretStorage — not in
plaintext settings. Use Bee: Sign Out to remove it. (A legacy bee.apiKey
setting is migrated into SecretStorage automatically.)
By default the extension talks to the hosted gateway at
https://bee.heossi.com/bee. To use a local Bee server instead, set
bee.apiUrl to http://localhost:8000.
Commands
Bee: Sign In · Bee: Sign Out · Bee: Ask Question · Bee: Open Chat Panel ·
