Code Web Chat

Designed for software engineers, a 100% free and open-source tool for AI-assisted pair programming. With its simple, non-agentic approach, CWC provides unmatched accuracy, speed and cost efficiency. Built by an independent developer for VS Code and its derivatives (Cursor, Windsurf, VSCodium, etc.).

LLMs have been shown to be an insufficient technology to reliably power the idea of agentic coding, especially in large, real-world projects. By using CWC you're close to the codebase—shaping it like a sculptor with a wonderous chisel. Keep your abilities sharp and create a programming duo that delivers truly exceptional value.

Happy coding with CWC!

Walkthrough

Guiding principles

  • Initialize chatbots—don't scrape responses
  • Free forever—community effort
  • Privacy first—operates locally
  • Lightweight—about 1MB of code

CWC is for you if you're

  • an experienced developer working on a large codebase
  • a student or hobbyist on a budget

Chatbot initialization

Install the Connector browser extension and never copy & paste again.

Supported chatbots:

  • AI Studio
  • ChatGPT
  • Claude
  • DeepSeek
  • Doubao
  • Gemini
  • Grok
  • Kimi
  • Mistral
  • Open WebUI
  • OpenRouter Chat
  • Perplexity
  • Qwen
  • Together
  • Yuanbao
  • Z.AI
Legal Disclaimer: After chat initialization, the extension does not read the incoming message. The injected Apply response button is not a means of automatic output extraction, it's an alias for the original copy to clipboard button.
