AI Integrator Code

What Code is#

AI Integrator Code is the desktop workspace for directing coding agents against folders and repositories on the local computer. A project identifies an opened folder, while a task records the work associated with that project. Installed runtimes, vendor logins, source files, terminal sessions, and Git state remain under local machine control. Code does not turn repository state into account-synced cloud data.

Account-backed Chat and local Code appear in the same product family but serve different purposes. Chat provides the account-backed conversational surface and its associated cloud features. Code routes work to installed local runtimes. The Code workspace can use a vendor account or subscription held by the selected runtime, while the AI Integrator account is not a proxy for that vendor credential. The Quickstart and PC articles describe the desktop entry points in context.

Open a project#

Select the Code mode word in the AI Integrator lockup, or choose Code from the desktop View menu. File → Open project… opens a chooser with Open folder, Clone repository, and Create project. Open folder accepts a folder with or without Git; Clone repository accepts a GitHub choice or repository URL; Create project makes a folder with a fresh Git repository. The selected project then appears in the Projects section of the left navigation rail.

Follow a Code task#

The left rail contains New chat, project and task navigation, Scheduled Tasks, Skills & Plugins, and Archived. The composer accepts a Task message, context attachments, slash skills, and an @ context reference. The lower-left composer control sets mode, permission, and delegation. The model chip at lower right opens Model and reasoning. Task tools on the right expose Git, Agents, Files, and Usage. The work pane holds review and browser surfaces, while the project terminal opens below the canvas.

Product boundaries#

Code is a desktop-first local workspace. The mobile Remote access surface supervises a paired desktop task; it does not host a second Code workspace or provide cloud synchronization for Code state. Runtimes, Review, and Browser cover the main task tools; terminal access and privacy boundaries remain part of the same desktop and account separation.
