pip install openagentic-ai[mistral]     # Mistral / Codestral
pip install openagentic-ai[gemini]      # Google Gemini

What it does

open-code is a terminal-based AI agent that reads, writes, and edits your code, runs shell commands, searches the web, and navigates your entire codebase — all from a single command.

cd my-project
open-code "add a dark mode toggle to the navbar"

---

Features

• Multi-provider — bring your own API key (Together, Groq, Mistral, Gemini, OpenRouter)
• Full file access — create, read, edit, delete files and directories
• Shell execution — run any command directly in your project folder
• Codebase search — glob patterns, regex grep across all files
• Internet search — built-in Tavily-powered web research
• Smart image sourcing — keyword-relevant photos via Unsplash or Pexels API; graceful fallback to placeholders
• Three agent modes — ask, auto, plan
• Session memory — context is persisted and trimmed intelligently across turns
• Rich TUI — beautiful terminal interface with live streaming output

Quick start

1. Install

Recommended — install only what you need (much faster):

pip install openagentic-ai[groq]       # Groq (fast, free tier)
pip install openagentic-ai[together]   # Together AI
pip install openagentic-ai[mistral]    # Mistral / Codestral
pip install openagentic-ai[gemini]     # Google Gemini
pip install openagentic-ai[openrouter] # OpenRouter
pip install openagentic-ai[all]        # every provider at once

Or plain install + provider separately:

pip install openagentic-ai
pip install langchain-groq   # or langchain-together, langchain-mistralai, etc.

Want Langfuse observability too?

pip install openagentic-ai[groq,langfuse]

2. Configure your API key

Create a .env file in your project folder (or home directory):

# Pick one provider — the first key found is used

TOGETHER_API_KEY=your_key_here
# GROQ_API_KEY=your_key_here
# MISTRAL_API_KEY=your_key_here
# GEMINI_API_KEY=your_key_here
# OPENROUTER_API_KEY=your_key_here

Get a free key:

• Together AI
• Groq
• Mistral
• Gemini
• OpenRouter

3. Run

cd your-project
open-code

Or pass a query directly:

open-code "refactor the auth module to use JWT"
open-code --mode plan "migrate the database to PostgreSQL"
