Beyond coding — a full AI agent
CodePilot started as a coding tool but has grown into a general-purpose AI agent desktop:
Assistant Workspace — Persona files, persistent memory, onboarding flows, and daily check-ins. Your assistant learns your preferences and adapts over time.
Generative UI — AI can create interactive dashboards, charts, and visual widgets rendered live in-app.
Remote Bridge — Connect to Telegram, Feishu, Discord, QQ, and WeChat. Send messages from your phone, get responses on your desktop.
MCP + Skills — Add MCP servers (stdio / sse / http) with runtime monitoring. Define reusable skills or install from the skills.sh marketplace.
Media Studio — AI image generation with batch tasks, gallery, and tagging.
Task Scheduler — Schedule recurring tasks with cron expressions or intervals.
Built for daily use
Pause, resume, and rewind sessions to any checkpoint
Split-screen dual sessions side by side
Track token usage and costs with daily charts
Import Claude Code CLI session history
Dark / Light theme toggle
English + Chinese interface
Quick Start
Path A: Download a release (most users)
Download the installer for your platform from the Download section above
Launch CodePilot
Configure a Provider in Settings > Providers — add your API key for any supported provider
Start a conversation
Note: Installing the Claude Code CLI (npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code) unlocks additional capabilities like direct file editing, terminal commands, and git operations. It is recommended but not required for basic chat.
Path B: Build from source (developers)

First Launch
Configure a Provider — Go to Settings > Providers and add credentials for the provider you want to use. CodePilot includes presets for all major providers — just pick one and enter your API key.
Create a conversation — Pick a working directory, select a mode (Code / Plan / Ask), and choose a model.
Set up Assistant Workspace (optional) — Go to Settings > Assistant, choose a workspace directory, and enable Onboarding. CodePilot creates soul.md, user.md, claude.md, and memory.md at the workspace root.
Add MCP servers (optional) — Go to the MCP page in the sidebar to add and manage MCP servers. Custom skills are managed on the separate Skills page.
Install Claude Code CLI (optional) — For advanced features like file editing and terminal commands, install the CLI: npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
Platform & Installation Notes
macOS builds are code-signed with a Developer ID certificate but not notarized, so Gatekeeper may still prompt on first launch. Windows and Linux builds are unsigned.
macOS: Gatekeeper warning on first launch
Option 1 -- Right-click CodePilot.app in Finder > Open > confirm.
Option 2 -- System Settings > Privacy & Security > scroll to Security > click Open Anyway.
Option 3 -- Run in Terminal:
xattr -cr /Applications/CodePilot.app
Windows: SmartScreen blocks the installer
Option 1 -- Click "More info" on the SmartScreen dialog, then "Run anyway".
Option 2 -- Settings > Apps > Advanced app settings > set App Install Control to allow apps from anywhere.

FAQ
Do I need the Claude Code CLI?
No. You can use CodePilot with any supported provider (OpenRouter, Zhipu GLM, Volcengine, Ollama, etc.) without the Claude Code CLI. The CLI is only needed if you want Claude to directly edit files, run terminal commands, or use git operations on your machine. For chat and assistant features, just configure a provider and start a conversation.
Configured a Provider but no models appear
Verify the API key is valid and the endpoint is reachable. Some providers (Bedrock, Vertex) require additional environment variables or IAM configuration beyond the API key. Use the built-in diagnostics (Settings > Providers > Run Diagnostics) to check connectivity.
What is the difference between npm run dev and npm run electron:dev?
npm run dev starts only the Next.js dev server -- you use CodePilot in your browser at http://localhost:3000. npm run electron:dev starts both Next.js and the Electron shell, giving you the full desktop app experience with native window controls.
Where are the Assistant Workspace files?
When you set up a workspace, CodePilot creates four Markdown files at the workspace root directory: soul.md (personality), user.md (user profile), claude.md (rules), and memory.md (long-term notes). State tracking (onboarding progress, check-in dates) is stored in the .assistant/ subdirectory. Daily memories go to memory/daily/.
Bridge requires additional setup per platform
Each Bridge channel (Telegram, Feishu, Discord, QQ, WeChat) requires its own bot token or app credentials. Go to the Bridge page in the sidebar to configure channels. You will need to create a bot on the target platform first and provide the token to CodePilot.

Development commands
npm run dev # Next.js dev server (browser)
npm run electron:dev # Full Electron app (dev mode)
npm run build # Production build
npm run electron:build # Build Electron distributable
npm run electron:pack:mac # macOS DMG (arm64 + x64)

npm run electron:pack:linux # Linux AppImage, deb, rpm
CI/CD: Pushing a v* tag builds macOS arm64/x64, Windows x64, and Linux arm64/x64 packages, then creates a GitHub Release automatically. A failure in any target blocks the Release.
Notes:
Electron forks a Next.js standalone server on 127.0.0.1 with a random free port
Chat data is stored in ~/.codepilot/codepilot.db (dev mode: ./data/)
SQLite uses WAL mode for fast concurrent reads
