Hello, World!

What's New

• Frontier models, smart routing: Qoder brings together leading models without locking you into a single one. Choose the model that fits your task, or let the Auto routing engine automatically balance quality, speed, and cost.
• Harness for complex tasks: Qoder’s Harness keeps planning, execution, verification, and self-correction in a continuous loop. For long-running and complex tasks, it retains context, adapts based on real results, and retries or rolls back when needed—all while permission tiers and tool allowlists keep sensitive actions within clear boundaries.
• Works in real environments: With Browser Use and Computer Use, Qoder can operate websites and desktop apps just as you would, so it can get work done in real environments.
• An ecosystem that connects: With 70+ plugins, 20,000+ skills, and 40+ connectors, Qoder connects to the systems where work actually happens: code repositories, documents and data sources, collaboration tools, databases, internal APIs, ticketing systems, and monitoring tools.
• Act Proactive: Qoder does more than respond to instructions. It proactively brings unresolved errors, changes without tests, and inconsistent logic to your attention—along with task updates and suggested next steps.
