About Flexpilot IDE
Flexpilot IDE is an open source code editor forked from VS Code that builds AI assistance into the editor itself. It is designed around bringing your own model: developers choose an LLM provider, enter their own API key and configuration, and the editor sends requests to that provider rather than to a bundled service.
The feature set covers the usual AI coding surfaces. These include context aware code completions, multi file edits, a chat panel, inline chat for refactoring or explaining code, a quick chat shortcut, voice chat, and a chat inside the terminal. It also offers smart variables for referencing code and editor data, AI assisted symbol renaming, generated chat titles, commit message and pull request description generation, and a token usage view that shows consumption for each AI interaction. Because it keeps VS Code's foundation, it works with existing GitHub Copilot extensions installed from the marketplace.
The project also runs in the browser. A web edition lets developers open GitHub repositories directly, with codebase chat and inline edits, and adding ide to a github.com address (or switching the domain to githubide.com) opens that repository in the web editor. A desktop edition is available for download.
The site describes the editor as completely free to use, with part of the code licensed under GNU GPLv3. There is no paid plan and no pricing page. Costs come only from the LLM provider whose key the developer supplies.
