Features in Detail
Consensus Voting System
Kodap uses multiple LLMs simultaneously for better suggestions:
- Input: You request an action (analyze, refactor, test)
- Voting: Selected models analyze the code independently
- Consensus: Results are merged; high-agreement suggestions are prioritized
- Output: Most supported solution is presented, with alternative votes visible
Real-time Dashboard Sync
Every action in VSCode is synced to your Kodap dashboard:
- See active coding sessions across your team
- Track which files are being analyzed
- Monitor consensus voting in real-time
- Review LLM usage patterns
Model Presets
Quick-select popular model combinations:
- Balanced: Claude + GPT-4 + Gemini
- Quality: Claude Opus + GPT-4
- Fast: Claude Haiku + GPT-4o mini + Gemini Flash
- Budget: Single model (configurable)
