Quick start
Up and running in three steps
Nexgile Code ships inside Nx IDE, so there is no second install. The only decision is which AI provider to point it at.
- 01
Install and open the panel
Nexgile Code ships inside Nx IDE — there is nothing separate to install. Open the panel beside your editor and you are ready.
Installing & Opening - 02
Connect an AI provider
Bring your own key: Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, Bedrock, Vertex, OpenRouter — or run entirely local with Ollama or LM Studio.
Connecting a provider - 03
Run your first task
Describe the change in plain language. Read each diff, approve what you want, and close the loop with a Task Completed summary.
Your first task
Why teams choose it
Built so you stay in control
An agent that edits your code and runs your terminal has to be trustworthy by construction, not by good intentions.
You approve every consequential step
Nothing touches your filesystem, terminal or external services until you say yes. Auto-approve is opt-in, category by category, with hard caps on per-task cost and request count acting as circuit breakers.
Auto-approving actionsFree undo, always
Every agent-initiated change is checkpointed in a shadow git repository — separate from your project's real history — so any prior state is one click away.
Checkpoints31 modes out of the box
Ten core modes — Architect, Code, Debug, Orchestrator, Tester, Reviewer, Shipper and more — plus 21 specialist personas. Each one is a persona with defined permissions, and you can write your own.
Using modesBring your own provider
Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, AWS Bedrock, GCP Vertex AI, OpenRouter and more — or run fully offline with Ollama or LM Studio. No lock-in, no markup.

Bring your own model
Connect a hosted provider with your own key, or keep everything on your machine. Pick per mode — a strong model for Code and Debug, a cheaper one for Ask and docs.
