The cost-efficientAI coding agent.

Runs in your terminal — or in a native desktop app for Windows, macOS and Linux — with models included in your Koodla plan. See every step, approve every action, and keep usage under control.

It does not hide what it is doing.

See what it searches, reads, runs, and plans to change. Before a file is written, Koodla shows the diff and asks for your approval.

The same agent, in a native window.

Chat, project tree and one-click approvals in a window you keep open. Installs on Windows, macOS and Linux — and updates itself automatically. Works with the same account and plan as the terminal.

What is different

Built for control, measured for cost.

One Koodla account

Sign in once and use Koodla from your terminal. Model requests run securely through Koodla's servers.

Usage you can see

Your plan includes model usage. Track what you have used and what remains from your account.

Two models at launch

Use DeepSeek V4 Flash for speed or V4 Pro for harder work. More models are coming soon.

Keep your editor

You do not migrate to a new editor. Keep the one you already use; the agent stays in the terminal.

Measured

Measured, not claimed.

In a controlled 12-task comparison, Koodla AI and another widely used coding agent both passed every test and changed the right file. Koodla used fewer turns and cost less on this set. More than 80 additional runs informed its design.
