Aide

The Open-Source AI-Native IDE

Aide is an innovative, open-source AI-native Integrated Development Environment (IDE) powered by the state-of-the-art agentic framework, swebench-lite. Designed to deliver intelligent, maintainable code edits, Aide redefines AI-driven development by proactively improving code quality and usability while maintaining developer control.

Key Features:

  • Proactive AI Agent: Aide's agent proposes fixes, identifies missing context, and iterates on linter errors using Language Server Protocol (LSP) tools like "Go to references" to provide relevant context seamlessly.
  • Multi-File AI Edits: Make logical, large-scale changes across multiple files without breaking code functionality, proven through benchmark testing against SWE-Bench Lite.
  • Developer Control & Checkpoints: Enjoy AI-powered edits while maintaining control with lightweight, VS Code-native checkpoints for easy rollback—no Git required.
  • Interactive AI Pair Programming: Aide behaves like a pair-programming partner—discuss issues with @-mentions to files, brainstorm, and make edits while preserving context and evaluating side effects.
  • Quick Command Access: Inspired by MacOS spotlight, use a floating widget (CMD + K) to quickly invoke changes based on text selections or prompts.
  • Local-First Execution: Aide includes a sidecar binary for local prompt management, ensuring full control over LLM interactions and responses, with optional data sharing for subscribed users.
  • Deep Reasoning Capabilities: Break down complex tasks into logical units for better reasoning and maintainability of edits.
  • Blazing-Fast Edits: Experience prompt caching and multi-location editing that deliver near-instant feedback on code changes.
  • Context Persistence: Continuously track and respond to changes made by both developers and the AI, maintaining a consistent editing context.

Aide is designed to empower developers with intelligent AI-driven code generation, thoughtful suggestions, and precise, scalable edits—all while retaining developer control and enhancing coding productivity.
