CodePilot

CodePilot is a desktop AI workspace that consolidates multiple AI agents and chat sessions into a single interface for project management and development tasks.

CodePilot is a desktop application that manages multiple AI conversations and project-related tasks in one interface. Users select specific agents, such as Claude Code, Codex, or the built-in CodePilot agent, for individual conversations. The application supports connections to various services including Anthropic, OpenRouter, DeepSeek, GLM, Kimi, and local models via Ollama. It offers file inspection, change review, and the ability to extend agent capabilities using Skills, MCP, and CLI tools. All conversation history and settings are stored locally on the user's machine. The software is released under the BSL 1.1 license.
