AlbertCode SWE
For when you need to ai coding agent that runs locally.
Engineers software with AI agents that plan changes, build in isolation, run tests, and wait for human approval.
What it does
Governed Execution Modes
Allows you to choose the pace of requests between two human gates, direct edits, or questions.
“Choose the pace per request: two gates for changes you care about, direct edits you watch, or questions that change nothing.”
Isolated Repository Copies
Builds and tests changes in a separate copy so your working tree remains untouched until you accept.
“The change is made in an isolated copy of your repository — never in your working tree.”
Local Toolchain Integration
Validates changes by running your project's own test tools and scripts.
“Runs your own toolchain (pytest, npm scripts, go test, cargo, Maven, Gradle, dotnet) and shows what passed and what didn't.”
Multiple Interfaces
Enables you to interact with the agent through your terminal, a browser workspace, or VS Code.
“Terminal, browser and VS Code, all driving the same local service and the same sessions.”
Model Flexibility
Connects to various hosted providers, OpenRouter, Hugging Face, or local model servers.
“A hosted provider, OpenRouter, Hugging Face, any compatible API, or a model on your own machine.”
What AlbertCode SWE doesn't do
