AI coding agent for VS code
Elastic Copilot is an AI agent for VS Code that codes end‑to‑end. It plans and writes features, understands huge codebases, fixes bugs, writes docs and runs browser, terminal and CI tasks. Built on Claude, GPT and Gemini; full‑context coding.
Elastic Copilot leverages full context windows of industry-leading AI models (GPT, Claude, Gemini) to generate complex functions and code snippets. The product indexes your entire codebase locally and sends only relevant context to the AI, enabling accurate, contextual code generation without context caps that plague other tools.
Elastic Copilot handles code refactoring by understanding your entire project structure through local file system integration. It can suggest improvements, reorganize code, and apply changes while maintaining context of dependencies and usage patterns across your codebase.
The integrated in-editor browser allows you to test web applications in real-time directly within VS Code, seeing exactly how your code works. Combined with terminal access to run tests and install packages, you can validate changes without context switching.
Privacy Mode enables zero-retention of code on servers; local code indexing keeps source code on your machine by default; configurable data sharing settings let you exclude folders or files; and Privacy Mode strips code from logs and disables caching, giving enterprises and security-conscious developers full control over data exposure.
The product provides bug-fixing capabilities that analyze your code and error messages with full project context. Development history tracking captures every step, allowing you to review the debugging process and revert to any point, making it easy to understand what went wrong and how it was fixed.
