🤖 AI.duino — AI Assistant for Arduino & Embedded Development

AI.duino brings powerful AI assistance directly into your IDE — no browser switching, no copy-pasting. Works in both Arduino IDE 2.x and VS Code (including PlatformIO).

Supported AI Providers

Cloud Providers

Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Mistral, Perplexity, Cohere, Groq

Aggregators

OpenRouter, Hugging Face

Local Providers (no API key required)

Ollama, LM Studio

Agentic Providers (require separate installation)

Claude Code, Codex CLI, Mistral Vibe, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, Groq Code, Ollama Agentic

Groq is not Grok — AI.duino is Elon-free! 🤙

Features

⚡ Code Optimization

Improves your code automatically. Converts blocking code to non-blocking variants, replaces delay() with millis()-based implementations, and more.

🔍 Code Explanation

Explains complex commands, hardware registers, and library functions in plain language — perfect for beginners and experts alike.

📝 Automatic Documentation

Adds meaningful comments to your existing code with a single click.

🔧 Error Analysis

Paste a compiler error and get a clear explanation plus a concrete fix. Works with Arduino IDE and VS Code diagnostics.

❓ Ask AI

Ask anything — with or without selected code. Follow-up questions keep the context alive.

🐛 Debug Help

Serial Monitor output analysis
Hardware diagnostics for common wiring problems
Timing analysis (blocking vs. non-blocking)

💬 AI Chat

Multiple persistent chat sessions, just like in your browser — but right inside the IDE. Attach files, reference your sketch, and continue where you left off.

🤖 Custom Agents

Define your own AI workflows: error checking after compile, code review, documentation generation — with access to build output, sketch files, and external resources.

🚀 Agentic Coding

The AI reads, modifies, and writes your project files directly — no copy-pasting required. It can even compile and fix errors autonomously in a loop.

📊 Offline Code Analysis

Get structural information about your current file without any API call.

✨ Inline Completion

AI-powered code suggestions as you type (optional, configurable).

Getting Started

Install AI.duino
Click the AI.duino icon in the Activity Bar
Select an AI provider and enter your API key
Open a source file and start coding with AI

No additional dependencies required for cloud and local HTTP providers.

Supported Languages

AI.duino automatically uses your IDE language. Supported: bg, bs, cs, da, de, el, en, es, et, fi, fr, hr, hu, is, it, ja, ko, lt, lv, mk, mt, nl, no, pl, pt, ro, sk, sl, sq, sr, sv, tr, uk, zh

You can add custom languages by placing a xx.json file in the locales/ folder.
