More than autocomplete: the Codeium alternative that does the work
Autocomplete writes your next line. An agent finishes the whole task — open source, local, on your own machine.
Codeium's strength is autocomplete. But often you want a step further: let the AI read files, change several places, run tests, and finish a task end to end. Wuwei is an agent, not autocomplete — a standalone app, running on your own machine, open source.
From autocomplete to doing the work
It reads and writes files, makes precise edits, runs commands, and searches the web — each step with a permission prompt.
Standalone app, no editor lock-in
Its own window — use whatever editor you like.
Local-first & open source (MIT)
Your code stays on your machine; read what it does line by line.
Bring any model
Claude, any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, or a local model.
