AI Agent

Your environment, one conversation away

Describe what you need and the Codify Agent builds the config, asks any clarifying questions, and lets you apply it — all from a single chat window. No JSON required.

Built on validated resources

The agent uses the same pre-tested Codify plugin library — not raw scripts — so everything it installs is reliable and reversible.

Review before anything runs

Inspect the generated config, make edits, and apply it directly from the chat window. Nothing changes on your machine without your sign-off.

AI inside every document

An in-document agent lives in the sidebar of every config file. Ask it to add, remove, or explain any resource and it proposes a diff for you to accept.
