A developer has released Agent Code, an open-source AI coding agent written in Python aimed at being lightweight and accessible rather than complex or expensive.
Key features:
- A GUI-based coding agent
- BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) support so users can connect their own AI providers
- Extensible tools and skills system
- Fully free and open source
The author's motivation is freeing developers from lock-in to a single paid ecosystem, and the post invites feedback with the question: if you could change one thing about today's AI coding agents, what would it be?
