Overview
Flexpilot is an open-source, native alternative to GitHub Copilot for Visual Studio Code. It serves as a flexible AI-powered development tool, distinguishing itself by offering control to users to use their preferred AI providers and models directly in VS Code.
Beyond providing native integration, Flexpilot emphasises maximum flexibility and open-source freedom in its design. Users can install Flexpilot directly from the VS Code Marketplace and then configure their preferred language model providers.Flexpilot's core capabilities include AI-powered code completions that provide context-aware suggestions and natural language guidance.
The tool also features interactive AI conversations directly within the VSCode workspace to foster problem-solving without interruptions. This also extends to quick answers from the AI assistant that mitigate workflow breaks.
Flexpilot supports inline chat for tasks such as refactoring, debugging, and clarifying codes, as well as incorporating a voice chat feature that allows users to receive real-time code suggestions in spoken format, thereby facilitating hands-free coding.
Additionally, Flexpilot employs smart variables referencing elements from users' code and editor data for tailored assistance, generates commit messages, and grants transparency with token usage insights.
The tool supports several AI providers including but not limited to Anthropic, OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Google Gemini, and Mistral AI.Flexpilot aims to foster a collaborative open-source community for continuous development and innovation.
Contributions to the project are welcomed in various areas, including bug reports, feature requests, documentation, and code contributions.

Johnson🙏 111 karmaJul 16, 2025Would rate 4.9 if possible, but rounding up to 5 stars because this app truly excels compared to other AI coding tools. Why 5 Stars: Best-in-class AI coding assistance Huge improvements over competitors Actually works for real development Real Impact: I successfully built and published an actual app using this tool - that's game-changing for non-developers like me. Bottom Line: Yes, there's room for improvement, but this is already the top AI coding app available. The fact that ordinary people can create real apps with it says everything. Perfect for anyone wanting to turn ideas into actual apps! -
