The VS Code extension

Already living in VS Code? The OIOXO extension brings the chat and the one-click cleanups right into your editor — so you keep your setup and add OIOXO’s privacy, plus an AI bill up to 90% smaller, on top.

Install & connect

• Install: search “OIOXO” in the VS Code Extensions view and click Install.
• Open the panel: click the OIOXO icon in the activity bar, or press Ctrl/Cmd+Alt+O.
• Connect your account: run “OIOXO: Connect Account” from the command palette to sign in. A free account works right away.

What you can do

• Chat with your code. Ask questions, request changes, and let OIOXO ground answers in your project — without uploading it.
• One-click cleanups. Select code, right-click, and choose Rename, Document, Simplify, or Explain — the same four you get everywhere in OIOXO.
• Review every edit. Proposed changes show up for you to approve or reject; after applying, a quick check tells you whether the edit still works — no surprises.
• Write commit messages. Turn your staged changes into a clear commit message in one command.
• Choose how the AI runs. Use a model on your device, a local Ollama model, or your own provider key — your choice, your privacy.
• Build with another device. On the same Wi-Fi, Add a device to borrow a stronger machine’s coding power — or lend yours and earn coding time.

Your other AI tools, for far less

OIOXO can connect to the AI tools you already use — so they send far less to get the same answer, cutting your AI bill by up to 90%. Run “OIOXO: Set Up This Workspace” and OIOXO wires up the supported tools in your project for you. The savings show live in the status bar.

Check your setup

Run “OIOXO: Doctor” any time for a quick health check — it confirms your account, connection, available models, and whether the workspace is wired up, and points you at the fix for anything that needs attention.
