Agnes AI — Copilot Chat Provider
English | 简体中文

Install from VS Code Marketplace
Use Agnes AI directly from the Copilot Chat model picker — no new workflows to learn.
Love Agnes AI's price-performance but don't want to give up GitHub Copilot's agent mode, tool calling, and polished UI? This extension drops Agnes AI straight into the Copilot Chat model selector with your own API key.
Why this extension?
- Don't replace Copilot — power it up. No new sidebar, no new chat UI to learn. Just a new model in the picker you already use.
- Agent mode, tool calling, instructions, MCP, skills — all of it still works. Copilot's entire stack, now running on Agnes.
- BYOK, pay Agnes AI directly. Your API key, your bill, your rate limits. Stored in the OS keychain, never on disk.
Features
Agnes AI in the model picker
Agnes 2.0 Flash shows up alongside GPT-4o, Claude, and friends in Copilot Chat's model selector. 128K context, native image input, and tool calling support.
Inherits Every Copilot Capability
Because this plugs into Copilot's native provider API, you get the full stack for free:
- Agent mode — autonomous multi-step tasks
- Tool calling — file edits, terminal, workspace search, Git, tests
- Instructions & skills — all your
.instructions.md, AGENTS.md, and skills just work
Secure by Default
API key lives in VS Code's SecretStorage (OS keychain on macOS / Windows / Linux). Never in settings.json, never in your Git history.
Zero Runtime Dependencies
Pure VS Code API + Node.js built-ins. No Python, no Docker, no local proxy server to babysit.
