CodeGPT is a model-agnostic AI coding assistant that runs inside VS Code and JetBrains IDEs, letting developers bring their own API keys for code generation, refactoring, and debugging.
About
CodeGPT is an AI coding assistant and agentic coding tool that works as an extension for Visual Studio Code and as a plugin for JetBrains IDEs such as IntelliJ and PyCharm. It addresses a common frustration for developers: being locked into a single AI provider. CodeGPT lets users choose from models by OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, Meta, Mistral, Cohere, and others, and it also supports local models through Ollama and LM Studio.
The assistant follows a plan-first workflow: it reads the codebase, proposes an editable plan, and only then writes code, with the developer approving each step. CodeGPT operates on a bring-your-own-key (BYOK) basis, so users can supply their own API provider keys or use CodeGPT credits. The product is developed by CodeGPT LLC, which states that its revenue comes from the software itself rather than metering model usage. Beyond the IDE product, the company offers custom AI integration services for organizations.

Who It's For
CodeGPT is aimed at professional software developers and engineers who want AI coding help without committing to one model vendor. It suits individual developers who prefer to use their own API keys or local models for privacy and cost control, as well as engineering teams that need pooled credits, shared billing, and usage reporting. It is also relevant to organizations evaluating agentic coding tools for code generation, refactoring, and debugging, and to enterprises interested in broader AI workflow integration services.
FAQ
What is CodeGPT?CodeGPT is an AI coding assistant and agentic coding tool that integrates into VS Code and JetBrains IDEs and supports models from many providers, including local models through Ollama and LM Studio.
