Tsedal AI for Visual Studio

tsedalai.com · Docs · Terms and privacy

Tsedal AI is an AI coding agent that works inside Visual Studio. Describe a task in plain words and Tsedal reads your project, edits and creates files, runs your tests, and keeps going until the job is done. You review every change before it is saved.

Getting started

Install Tsedal AI from the Marketplace and restart Visual Studio.
Open the chat from Tools > Tsedal AI > Open Chat, or press Alt+Shift+L.
Sign in with Tools > Tsedal AI > Sign In and paste your API key.
Open a solution or folder and tell Tsedal what to build or fix.

You need a Tsedal account. Get your API key at tsedalai.com.

Agent: hand off a whole task

Type what you want, for example "Add input validation to the signup form and write tests for it". Tsedal:

makes a short plan and ticks it off as it works;
reads the files it needs and searches your project;
proposes changes, which you Accept or Reject;
runs commands such as your tests, after you approve them;
keeps going until the task is finished, then tells you what changed.

Click a changed file to compare it before and after, side by side. Changes can be undone one at a time or all at once. A whole task counts as one request against your allowance, however many steps it takes.

Ask: questions about your code

Switch the box to Ask for answers without changes to your files. Every code block in an answer has Copy and Insert, and file names in answers open the file when clicked.

Type / for quick commands such as /explain, /fix, /tests and /doc.

Work on selected code

Select code, then use the right-click Tsedal AI menu or Tools > Tsedal AI:

Command	What it does	Shortcut
Edit Selection	Rewrites the code from your description	`Alt+Shift+I`
Fix Selection	Finds and fixes problems
Document Selection	Adds documentation
Complete Code at Cursor	Writes the next lines for you	`Alt+Shift+K`

Add context

Type # to find and attach a file from your project.
Click the paperclip to add files, problems in the current file or your Git changes.
Paste a screenshot, or drag in images and PDFs.

Open Tools > Tsedal AI > Usage to see what you have left and when each limit resets.

Plans

Every account starts on the Free plan. Pro and Max add more requests and more features. See tsedalai.com for details.

Safety

The agent only works inside the project you have open.
Secret files such as .env, private keys and certificates are never read or changed.
File changes wait for your review, and applied changes can be undone.
Commands run only after you approve them.

Privacy

Your prompts and code are sent to the Tsedal server, which passes them to AI providers to answer you. The server does not store prompts, code or answers. Images and PDFs you attach are kept on the server for 30 days so later steps of a task can use them. The terms and privacy page lists the AI providers used.

Requirements

Visual Studio 2022 or 2026 on Windows (x64 or Arm64)
