AI Dev is a coding assistant that uses tools to perform tasks on your codebase.

It’s like your very own dedicated engineer:

• Isolated. It spins up a Docker sandbox so it's isolated from your local environment, and you can work on multiple coding tasks at the same time.
• Embeddable. You can integrate Magnet Agent inside other applications using the API.
• Extensible. You extend the agent with more tools with LangChain.

Installation

It’s available on npm, as an easy npx CLI to use in seconds:

npm: ai-dev

npx ai-dev@latest

Check out Getting Started for more information.

Ways to use the agent

There’s two main ways to use AI Dev:

• Via CLI. Run AI Dev locally in seconds via our npx CLI command.
• Embedded in Apps. Embed AI Dev in apps to enable slick developer experiences.

Use cases

A few examples from our :

• “Update my README.md to describe how X feature works”
• “Fix TODO comments in my codebase”
• “Install Sentry in my project”
