Qoder is an AI-powered IDE developed by Alibaba. It transfers the paradigm from the auto-filling assistant to the autonomous coding agent. It understands your complete code base, schedules tasks, performs these tasks and tests with minimal human intervention.
Qoder features
- Agent Mode: Interactive programming through inline chat and AI suggestions.
- Task Mode: AI performs complete tasks according to specifications – planning, writing, testing code automatically tests.
- repo wiki: Automatically generate project documents, dependency graphs and architectural insights.
- Enhanced context engineering: Use hybrid search to deepen context awareness.
- Next Editorial Suggestions (NES) and Inline Chat: Multi-line editing and AI chat integrated in your code editor.
- Multi-model backend: Route tasks across models such as GPT, Claude and Gemini.
- Platform support: Available on MacOS and Windows and developed Linux.
How it works
- Open a project; Qoder indexes the code and builds the context.
- use Agent Mode for real-time encoding help or NES/Inline Chat Used for editing.
- exist Task Mode Delegate complex tasks.
- The AI plan to write code across files, run tests, update documents, and then report.
- Review, accept or iterate as needed.
The benefits of Qoder
- Accelerate development by letting AI handle routine and complex tasks.
- Reduce context losses common in other AI tools.
- Simplify boarding with automatically generated project documents.
- Improve accuracy through specification-driven development.
- Free developers from boilerplate and let them focus on strategy.
- Report transparent workflows through repurchase wiki and action flow.
Qoder pricing

- Professional plan (Expected): Includes Quest mode, repurchase wiki and points, estimated at $20-30 per month.
- Team/Company Program: Includes admin panel, SSO and centralized billing, possibly $50+/user/month.
Review
Qoder represents a new era: AI is a teammate, not just a tool. The developers highlighted their ability to maintain context, generate reliable documents and complete complex coding tasks autonomously. While it will still evolve in the form of limited plug-ins and model options, it shows strong potential to be a central development tool. Early users saw it as a powerful way to uninstall coding efforts and focus on advanced design.
in conclusion
Qoder redefines AI encoding assistance. It is an autonomous teammate with deep environments, specification-driven workflows, and adaptive AI models. This is ideal for developers who want to speed up delivery and shift their focus from regular coding to architecture and review. With the current free preview, now is the right time to try it out.
