Auto AI Anywhere

An autonomous AI coding agent in VS Code — and on your phone.

A VS Code chat front-end for an autonomous coding agent, tuned to run hands-free and reachable from anywhere.

Unofficial. This is an independent extension and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Anthropic. It reuses a locally-installed agent CLI on your machine; no API key is bundled or required.

✨ Highlights

🚀 Autonomous "Allow all" mode — runs every tool without prompting and keeps going until the task is fully complete (no turn cap). One click switches between Ask before edits / Edit automatically / Allow all.
📄 Reads PDF / Word / Excel — attach (📎) or paste (Ctrl/⌘+V) PDFs, .docx, .xlsx/CSV, text, and images (screenshots) as context. Documents are extracted to text; images go in as vision input.
📱 Remote access from your phone — mirror the live conversation to any phone browser over a built-in server (LAN out of the box; tunnel for 4G/remote). Read, share, and send messages back to the desktop session in real time.

Also included

Streaming markdown answers, collapsible tool cards, diffs, to-do lists.
Context-usage ring (click to compact) + per-turn token & cache stats.
Customizable shortcut buttons, / command autocomplete, copy/delete on messages, code-block copy & collapse.
Lives in the sidebar or as an editor tab (draggable across groups / windows).

Requirements

A supported agent CLI installed and logged in on the machine (auth is reused). VS Code ^1.94.0.

Develop / run

npm install
npm run build          # or: npm run watch

⚠️ Allow all mode auto-runs any tool (edits, shell, deletes) without asking. Switch to Ask before edits via the </> button for untrusted projects.
