Your code editor. Redefined with AI.
Web, Insiders edition, or other platforms
By using VS Code, you agree to its license and privacy statement.
Any model for any team
Use AI models like Claude Sonnet out of the box, or bring your own key to acces models from Azure, Anthropic, Google, Ollama, OpenAI, and OpenRouter.
An expert on your codebase
Your codebase is indexed locally and remotely (on GitHub) to understand what's relevant, enabling fast, context-aware interactions.
AI that works the way your team does
Personalize interactions using custom instructions and reusable prompt files tailored to your workflows, tools, and projects.
Agent mode
Tackle complex, multi-step tasks. Agent mode reads your codebase, suggests edits across files, runs terminal commands, and responds to compile or test failures — all in a loop until the job is done. Further refine agent mode to fit your team's workflows with VS Code extensions and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers.
Build with agent mode
Next Edit Suggestions
VS Code predicts your next move as you code. Use the Tab key to accept AI-powered suggestions right in your editor. It intelligently recommends what to change — and where — based on the edits you're already making.
