Open-source desktop coding editor where AI agents read, write and edit code, several in parallel, with a built-in browser.

## Overview

stagewise is an open-source desktop coding editor in which AI agents read, write and edit code, and several can run in parallel. It runs on your computer and includes a built-in browser for previewing apps.

Models can come from stagewise’s hosted inference service, your own API keys or subscriptions, or local models. Users can add their own skills as instruction files.

The editor and agent harness are AGPL-3.0. Plans are free, $20 a month for individuals, and custom for enterprises, which can self-host the stagewise cloud and get SSO and SCIM.

## Features

* Lets AI agents read, write and edit code.
* Runs several agents in parallel.
* Includes a built-in browser for previewing apps.
* Uses hosted inference, your own API keys or subscriptions, or local models.
