JCode
Jcode is an open-source AI programming agent written in Rust, designed for the terminal, offering parallel agents, persistent sessions, and multiple execution entry points.
Who it is for: Users needing to run interactive or non-interactive programming tasks via the terminal (inferred from CODEX-research-jcode-005 functionality), users requiring parallel execution of multiple agents (inferred from CODEX-research-jcode-003 and CODEX-research-jcode-010 functionality), and technical users needing access via subscription OAuth, direct API provider, or local models (inferred from CODEX-research-jcode-006 functionality)
Core capabilities
- Terminal Task and Session Management: Provides TUI, non-interactive execution, session recovery, persistent background server, and client connection entry points.
- Parallel Agents and Swarm Collaboration: Supports running dozens of agents in parallel, managed by the server across the same repository; file changes notify other agents.
- Background Task and Progress Management: Supports listing, viewing output, checking, canceling, and waiting for background tasks, with progress cards displayed in TUI.
- Provider and Local Model Integration: Supports OAuth login, direct API provider, and login entry points for Ollama and LM Studio.
Pricing
The software itself is $0 with no functional barriers; Hosted inference is $10 per month, including $20 monthly inference credits, billed at 90% of provider API prices after credits are exhausted; monthly cap defaults to $100 and can be lowered to $0 or increased.
