Codanium Desktop

Your Vibe, Multiplied

Codanium Desktop is a cross-platform desktop IDE that connects to the Codanium AI software delivery platform. It receives generated code from AI agents in real-time, provides an integrated development environment with chat, board, and agent monitoring — all without requiring VS Code.

IDE-Gated Agents

When the Desktop IDE is connected (heartbeat active), the following agents are unlocked on the server:

Agent	Role
JD	Junior Developer
SD	Senior Developer
QA	Quality Assurance
DO	DevOps Engineer
PE	Performance Engineer
IE	Infrastructure Engineer

Without an IDE connection, these agents are held in WAITING_FOR_VSCODE status.
