Why not VSCode
VSCode is a text editor with an agent bolted on.
We built the agent first.
Extensions, copilots, and sidebars are retrofits. Experience Desktop was designed from the ground up for agent-first development — where the agent is the primary actor and the human is the principal.
Chat is the shell, not the sidebar
Every workflow — file edit, agent dispatch, handoff, ship — runs through Kael's chat. No context switching between editor and assistant. The conversation holds the state.
Orchestrate teams, not just agents
Dispatch foremen + workers in parallel. Handoffs move work between agents while you review. The orchestrator keeps the queue; you keep the judgment.
The IDE grows under you
Pressure is logged, phases are candidates, skills emerge. Generation N+1 carries what N earned. The IDE doesn't plateau at the demo.
BYOK, open protocol
Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter, gateway. Your spend, your keys, your audit trail. No vendor lock on inference, no per-seat fees on the IDE.
What ships in the IDE
Six systems.
One shell.
Each system is independently useful. Together they compound — the IDE that grows under you rather than plateauing at the demo.
Chat-first development
Kael is the IDE's built-in assistant — not a sidebar plugin. Every task, file edit, and agent dispatch flows through chat. The conversation IS the workflow.
Visual context system
Point at any UI element. The agent sees it. Every component carries a cid token — stable, queryable identity across the whole codebase.
Team substrate
Dispatch foremen + workers in parallel. Handoffs move work between agents. The orchestrator coordinates; you review and approve.
Knowledge layer
Snippets, formulas, theorems — polyglot. Every piece of knowledge is indexed, queryable, and shareable with the community.
Plugin marketplace
Browse, fork, and publish plugins that extend the IDE. Community-built tools for your stack, your workflow, your domain.
Resume auto-built
Every ship writes your public profile. Level, skills, recent work — a living portfolio that builds itself from the tasks you actually complete.
