Flexpilot

What it does

A privacy-focused, open-source and free GitHub Copilot alternative for VS Code. Enjoy native integration, telemetry-free coding, and configurable models for enhanced productivity and creative coding experiences.

An open-source, free, AI-native, privacy-first IDE, forked from VS Code, offering the flexibility to bring your own keys for the LLMs of your choice.

To ensure modifications remain free and open, part of Flexpilot IDE is under GNU GPLv3. The extension uses GPLv3, while the IDE retains an MIT license. This balance supports fairness and collaboration, aligning with our goals. Flexpilot IDE is free to use, but to access the AI features, you will need to bring your own LLM API keys. Providers like GitHub Models API, Google Gemini API, and others offer generous free tiers that you can take advantage of. Flexpilot IDE is a fork of Code - OSS (MIT licensed), the base of VS Code. Its AI features use the same APIs as GitHub Copilot, resulting in a similar look and feel. Yes, Flexpilot supports OpenAI-compatible offline models like Ollama and…from flexpilot.ai

  OpenCopilot – Build and embed open-source AI copilots into your product2023 · github.com · ▲109

  Hey HN OpenCopilot is an OSS framework which helps devs to build open-source AI Copilots that actually work and embed into their product with ease. Why another LLM framework? Twitter is full of impressive LLM applications but once you peel off the curtains it’s clear that they are just demos. The reason being because building an AI Copilot that goes beyond a Twitter demo can be complex, time-consuming and unreliable. Our team has been in the AI space since 2018 and built numerous LLM apps & copilots. While doing that, we got approached by many startups saying they’d also like to build a…

  Talanoa▲341

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  Lovable▲1,477

  Hey HN! Previous CERN physicist turned hacker here. We've developed a way to make AI coding actually work by systematically identifying and fixing places where LLMs typically fail in full-stack development. Today we're launching as Lovable (previously gptengineer.app) since it's such a big change. The problem? AI writing code typically make small mistakes and then get stuck. Those who tried know the frustration. We fixed most of this by mapping out where LLMs fail in full-stack dev and engineering around those pitfalls with prompt chains. Thanks to this, in all comparisons I found with: v0,…

  I built a(nother) house optimized for LAN parties▲1,117

  I wasn't quite sure if this qualified as "Show HN" given you can't really download it and try it out. However, dang said[0]: > If it's hardware or something that's not so easy to try out over the internet, find a different way to show how it actually works—a video, for example, or a detailed post with photos. Hopefully I did that? Additionally, I've put code and a detailed guide for the netboot computer management setup on GitHub: https://github.com/kentonv/lanparty Anyway, if this shouldn't have been Show HN, I apologize!
