Why we included this project

Developers who want Copilot-style help without being tied to one vendor will find Flexpilot a practical fit: it runs natively inside VS Code and lets you bring your own API keys across a long list of providers, from OpenAI and Anthropic to local runtimes like Ollama and vLLM. The extension covers the usual daily workflow, including inline completions, panel chat, inline and quick chat, voice input, and AI-generated commit messages, and it also shows token usage so you can keep an eye on spend. One caveat worth knowing before you build on it: the extension is no longer actively developed, and the team has moved on to Flexpilot IDE, a VS Code fork with the assistant pre-installed. That makes this repo most useful as a reference for how the assistant works and as a starting point for the newer IDE, rather than a place to expect ongoing feature work.
