OxCode
An AI Software Engineer for Visual Studio Code.
OxCode works alongside you throughout the software development lifecycle. From planning architectures and implementing features to debugging issues, reviewing code, explaining engineering decisions, and shipping software, OxCode helps you build better software, not just generate code.
Rather than locking you into a single AI model, OxCode is model-agnostic, intelligently utilizing the most suitable AI capabilities behind the scenes so you can focus on building software instead of choosing models.
