    Your editor, your models, your project context. Find your way from a first change to a connected agent workflow.

    V3Code brings code editing, agent conversations, project memory, and code intelligence into one local editor. Start with your own API key, a supported provider subscription, or an available free model. Choose the workflow that fits what you want to do.

    There are three different ways to connect. Choose the one you actually need:

    You want to… Start here
    Use a provider’s models with the V3Code agent Connect a provider plan or add an API key
    Run another agent in the editor’s chat Set up ACP
    Share tools between V3Code and another client Connect through MCP
    • Context Bridge: give compatible agents access to structural code intelligence, including references and call relationships.
    • Semantic index: retrieve relevant project context. Wait for the index to report ready before relying on semantic results.
    • Memory: carry project context between conversations. Review important decisions rather than assuming everything is remembered correctly.

    Local tools and remote model calls have different data boundaries. Read Privacy and the connection guide for the provider or external agent you choose.

    • Quick Edit — select a bounded region, press Ctrl/Cmd + K, and describe the rewrite directly inside the editor.
    • V3Code Tab and V Go — local-first autocomplete at the cursor plus next-edit prediction that follows your work to the next change point.
    • Turbo Draft — infer the unfinished intent in a file, draft the complete change, and review it hunk by hunk before anything is kept.
    • Choose a mode — Agent, Chat, Plan, Debug, Multitask, or Read. Design and Cyber Protection are separate composer options, not extra modes.
    • Design — browse design directions and keep a consistent set of visual choices.
    • Any model, your way — bring your own keys for OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, Google, DeepSeek, Mistral, Groq, OpenRouter and more; run fully local models (bundled, Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM); or use hosted tiers on a paid plan with an auto-router tuned to preserve caching.
    • Documentation for agents — give a model the plain-text docs index or complete documentation.
