01 / Features— What you get

Every tool, built in.

01Editor

Native GPU editor

Built on Zed's Rust engine — GPU-rendered and fast. LSP, tree-sitter highlighting, multi-cursor, vim mode, split panes and 40+ languages.

02Terminal

Integrated terminal

A real, fast multi-tab terminal built into the editor. Full shell support — PowerShell, cmd, bash, zsh — wired to tasks and one-key Build & Run.

03AI

AI agent panel

Agentic multi-file editing with diff review, tool-calling and MCP. Bring your own key — Groq, OpenAI, Anthropic — or run fully offline with Ollama / LM Studio.

04Git

Git panel

Status, stage/unstage files, commit, push/pull — with inline unified diff viewer. No command memorisation required.

05Search

Search in files

Ctrl+Shift+F — plain text and regex search across your entire project. Up to 2 000 matches. Click to jump to file + line.

06Layout

Activity bar & icons

A VS Code-style icon rail — Explorer, Search, Git, AI, Terminal, Extensions, Settings — one click each, plus colorful Material file icons in the tree.

07Run

One-click Build & Run

Press F9. V-Agent detects the language, finds your compiler (gcc, py, node, go, rustc…), builds and runs. Missing a toolchain? It offers to install it.

08Themes

Signature dark theme

Ships with V-Agent Dark — near-black with violet accents. Plus the full Zed theme & icon-theme ecosystem, installable in one click.

09Extensions

Extensions & boards

The full Zed extension ecosystem — languages, themes, LSPs. Plus first-class embedded support: Arduino & Raspberry Pi Pico, uploaded from the editor.

02 / AI Providers— Your choice

Cloud, local, or both.

V-Agent Cloud
Default

Free shared backend — no API key, no setup, just open V-Agent and start. Rate-limited. Great for trying the app.

Groq
Free tier

Extremely fast inference. Free API key at console.groq.com. Auto-falls back to OpenRouter on rate limit.

OpenRouter
Free + paid

Access hundreds of models including Claude, GPT-4o, Mistral, and free tiers. Default: claude-haiku-4-5.

Ollama
100% offline

Fully local — install Ollama, pull any model, and V-Agent works with no internet at all. qwen2.5-coder, deepseek-coder, codellama.

Configure in Settings (Ctrl+,). Groq → OpenRouter auto-fallback requires both keys to be set.

03 / Questions— FAQ

Things to know.

01Is it free?
+

Yes. V-Agent is free and open-source (GPL v3). The built-in V-Agent Cloud backend is also free (rate-limited). Groq and OpenRouter have free tiers. Ollama is completely free and offline.

02Which platforms are supported?
+

Windows 10/11 (MSI installer or portable ZIP), Linux (deb + AppImage), and macOS (dmg). All built and released automatically via GitHub Actions on every release tag.

03Do I need to install Python or Rust?
+

No. The installer bundles everything — Rust runtime and the Python sidecar are compiled into the binary. Just download and run.

04Is my code sent to the cloud?
+

Only if you use a cloud provider (V-Agent Cloud, Groq, or OpenRouter). With Ollama, everything stays on your machine. API keys are stored locally in your app data folder — never uploaded anywhere.

05How is this different from VS Code + Copilot?
+

V-Agent is a self-contained app — no extensions to configure, no Microsoft account, no subscription. The AI can actually read and write files, run commands, and search your project (tool-calling loop), not just suggest inline completions.

06Can I run the AI fully offline?
+

Yes. V-Agent's agent panel works with local providers — Ollama, LM Studio and llama.cpp — so your code and prompts never leave your machine. Prefer the cloud? Bring your own key for Groq, OpenAI or Anthropic. MCP context servers are supported either way.

07Can I contribute?
+

Absolutely. GPL v3. Fork, PR, issue — all welcome at github.com/otzpt/V-Agent.
