Introduction
CODVIAN is a Windows desktop AI coding agent that helps developers understand, plan, build, run, and verify software projects in a local-first workspace.
What is CODVIAN?
CODVIAN works with your real projects — understanding context, planning changes, editing files, running tools, and verifying results from one Windows workspace. It is designed as an agent, not an IDE: it complements your editor and development tools.
Key Concepts
- Projects — Map to a software project directory and give CODVIAN a stable context.
- Sessions — An interaction within a project. Start a new session for a distinct goal.
- Permissions — Explicit boundaries for files, commands, network, and browser access.
- Providers — Connect supported AI model providers and configure models.
