The Machine That Builds Machines — now in your editor.
Kaidera brings your multi-agent AI development team directly into VS Code,
Cursor, Windsurf, and other VS Code-compatible editors. The currently published
extension and command IDs still use the legacy EnGenAI name until their
coordinated compatibility migration.
Chat with your entire AI development team from the sidebar:
- Keith (CPO) — Plan features, define requirements, coordinate agents
- Sophi (Backend) — Write APIs, fix bugs, generate tests
- Marv (Frontend) — Build UI components, style pages
- PROMI (Orchestrator) — Route tasks, manage workflows
Use @Keith plan a REST API for user auth or @Sophi /fix with selected code.
Your project's Dev-Vault appears as a virtual folder in VS Code Explorer. Browse files created by agents, see real-time updates as agents work, and diff agent-created files against your local workspace.
- Files appear within seconds of agent creation
- Right-click to diff with local files
- Read-only (agents create, you review)
Right-click any code and select "Ask EnGenAI" (the current compatibility command label) to send it to your agents with intelligent context:
- Selected code + surrounding context (free)
- Related functions and types from your project (indexed)
- Full file on demand when needed
In VS Code, the Kaidera extension integrates with Copilot Chat:
- Type
@engenai /planto plan features with Keith - Type
@engenai /fixwith code selected to fix bugs with Sophi - Kaidera models appear in Copilot's model picker under their current legacy labels
- VS Code: Search "EnGenAI" in Extensions until the marketplace listing migrates
- Cursor / Windsurf: Available via OpenVSX
- Manual: Download
