Agente IA Local is a classic Visual Studio extension that adds a Tool Window to run a local AI agent inside the IDE. It supports chat-based sessions, configurable local LLM endpoints (e.g., LM Studio)
Install the VSIX (Marketplace or local .vsix install).
Start Visual Studio (or Experimental Instance for development).
Open the extension: Tools → Agente IA Local.
Enter a prompt in the ToolWindow prompt box and press Enter or click Run.
Review the rendered response in the response pane and the Log tab for diagnostics.
Configuration:
Settings are available via Options and an inline Settings Panel in the ToolWindow. Persistent settings live at %LOCALAPPDATA%\AgenteIALocal\settings.json.
To enable a real backend, configure an LM Studio-compatible server (set activeServerId, baseUrl, model, and optionally apiKey).
