Code Web Chat

100% free and open source VS Code extension for AI-assisted pair programming.

✅ Initializes 15+ chatbots hands-free
✅ Integrates chat responses with the codebase
✅ Includes all the essential API tools

CWC saves you money and time.

With CWC you can:

• Granularly select folders and files to copy them as XML-formatted text.
• Type your task, pick edit format (whole/truncated/diff), initialize a chatbot hands-free (or send an API request) and automatically integrate the response with the codebase.
• Get accurate code completions using the selected context with SOTA reasoning models.
• Generate meaningful commit messages by referencing the original state of the modified files.
• Include websites parsed to markdown in context.

Guiding principles:

• initialize chatbots—don't scrape responses
• complete privacy—local processing
• 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

Chatbot initialization

Code with your favorite chatbot without tedious copy-pasting. The Connector extension bridges your editor and the browser through a locally run WebSockets server.

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.
