Workspai for VS Code

The AI workspace for backend teams.

Scaffold projects from intent. Debug with full context. Ship faster — all inside VS Code.

What it does

Workspai is a VS Code extension that brings AI-powered workspace management to backend teams. It knows your project structure, runs your CLI, and uses GitHub Copilot to scaffold, debug, and analyze — all from a single sidebar.

Supported frameworks: FastAPI · NestJS · Spring Boot · Go/Fiber · Go/Gin

Features

Dashboard

Workspai Dashboard

The main dashboard brings the core flows together in one place: AI workspace creation, framework quick-start cards, AI tools, and recent workspaces. It is the fastest entry point for both new scaffolds and ongoing work.

AI Workspace Builder

Create Workspace with AI

Describe what you want to build in plain language. Workspai plans the workspace, selects the right starter shape, and turns intent into a scaffolded backend setup.

AI Project Creation

Create Project with AI

Create a project inside the selected workspace with framework-aware presets. The AI project flow keeps the workspace context, target framework, and starter patterns aligned from the start.

AI Assistant

Open a context-aware assistant directly inside VS Code. Ask architecture questions, debug issues with workspace awareness, and switch between guided prompts and direct input without leaving the extension.

Editor Quick Fixes

Workspai Editor Quick Fixes

Workspai also plugs into the editor quick-fix flow. From inline diagnostics, you can preview a fix with AI, debug with Workspai AI, or explain an error without leaving the current file.

Workspai Sidebar

The sidebar is the operational control surface for Workspai: quick actions, workspaces, projects, available modules, and workspace health. Project-level runtime actions stay one click away.

Workspai Incident Studio

The dedicated AI debugging environment for backend teams. Open from the Incident Studio tab in the dashboard — it loads your full workspace context and runs a structured analysis.

What it covers in a single session:

Architecture map — project graph, dependencies, and module relationships
Workspace health — doctor checks, missing configs, and environment issues
AI-guided fix recommendations — root-cause, patch preview, and rollout checklist
Scope-aware analysis — target a specific project or the full workspace

No copy-pasting logs. No context switching. Select scope → run analysis → get actionable output.

Module Browser

Browse 27+ production-ready modules by category, filter them quickly, and install them into the active project. The module browser is designed for fast discovery, comparison, and one-click install flows.
