Kolega Code is a local-first, open-source multi-agent coding tool that runs in the terminal. It addresses the need for provider-agnostic AI assistance that keeps all data on the user's machine while coordinating specialized agents for coding tasks.
The tool fans out specialized sub-agents with Gigacode and routes different models to different jobs. It searches the web, drives a browser, and stores sessions, settings, permissions, and credentials locally. Installation uses a one-command script or standard Python package managers, and it requires Python 3.11 or higher. Supported model providers include Anthropic, OpenAI, ChatGPT with sign-in for paid plans, Google, Groq, Together.ai, Fireworks.ai, xAI, DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, Z.AI, and local Ollama models such as Llama. Web search defaults to DuckDuckGo without requiring an API key.
Kolega Code is delivered as a command-line interface. It is available through PyPI as the kolega-code package and can be installed via curl script, uv tool install, or pip. The project is hosted on GitHub under the Apache-2.0 license and includes documentation and a contributing guide. It is intended for developers seeking privacy-focused, terminal-based coding support that works across multiple AI providers without cloud dependency for data storage.
Kolega Code is a Coding AI & assistants product.
