    Delegate entire tasks to autonomous agents. They can:

    * Edit multiple files
    * Discover relevant information in your codebase
    * Run builds and tests
    * Fix errors
    * Check their own work

    You stay in control with instant feedback and granular permissions.

      <source src="https://github.com/getcmd-dev/public-website/raw/refs/heads/main/src/assets/chat-mode.mov" />
    </video>

    Get detailed answers and explanations without modifying code:

    * Understand complex codebases
    * Get architectural advice
    * Learn about patterns and practices
    * Context-aware responses from your actual code

    Delegate entire tasks to external agents you love, without leaving Xcode:

    * **Claude Code**: Anthropic's agentic coding assistant
    * **Codex**: OpenAI's code generation agent
    * **Gemini CLI**: Google's AI agent for the terminal

    Rich native UI for better visibility and control over agent tasks.

    Run AI models entirely on your machine with Ollama:

    * **Complete privacy**: Your code never leaves your infrastructure
    * **Custom models**: Use specialized or fine-tuned models
    * **Network deployment**: Run Ollama on private network servers
    * **Offline development**: Work without internet connectivity
    * **No API costs**: Unlimited inference without per-token charges

    Tested successfully with models like devstral-small-2 and qwen3-coder.
