The open-source AI-native IDE.
CodeStory is building Aide, an open-source AI-native IDE powered by a state-of-the-art agentic framework. It proactively proposes fixes, iterates on linter errors, and uses LSP tools to pull in relevant context. The company emphasizes developer control, offering slim, VS Code-native checkpoints for easy rollbacks. It features a quick invoke floating widget (CMD+K) and aims to provide a pair-programming experience with an AI engineer. The sidecar binary handles prompts and LLM interaction, with full control over prompts and responses.

Make data-driven decisions faster
AI agents combine large language models with tools, memory, and decision-making logic to autonomously complete multi-step tasks without constant human guidance.
Large language model for reasoning and decision-making
Understand tasks, plan steps, generate responses
APIs, databases, external services the agent can call
Take actions beyond text generation (search, compute, write files)
Short-term (conversation) and long-term (persistent) memory
Maintain context across interactions and learn from past actions
Decision engine for choosing next action
Plan multi-step workflows and handle errors/edge cases
