Code Web Chat (CWC)

A 100% free and open-source VS Code extension for AI-assisted pair programming. Make coordinated changes across multiple files from a single web chat or API call. Save money and time.

✅ Initializes 15+ free chatbots
✅ Includes all the necessary API tools
🫡 Built by an independent developer

Walkthrough

With CWC you can:

Make multi-file edits across your codebase in a single chat or API request:
- select folders and files for context,
- enter instructions,
- initialize new chat or send an API request,
- apply response in any edit format (whole/truncated/diff), hands-free!
Get accurate code completions.
Generate meaningful commit messages.

Guiding principles:

initialize chatbots—don't scrape responses
free—open source community effort
complete privacy—works 100% locally
lightweight—about 1MB of code

CWC is for you if:

you're an experienced developer working on a large codebase
you're a student or hobbyist on a budget

Legal Disclaimer: After chat initialization, the extension does not read the incoming message. The injected Apply response button is not a means of automatic output extraction, it's an alias for the original copy to clipboard button.
