Charles
The AI agent that lives in your workspace.
Charles plans, codes, and ships — locally. No cloud lock-in. Full file access. One agent that understands your entire project.
Features
Built for how you actually work
Not another chatbot. A full development agent with tools, memory, and judgment.
Workspace-aware
Charles sees your full project — files, imports, structure. Context isn't guessed, it's scanned.
Multi-turn agent
Plans, executes tools, verifies results, auto-repairs — in a single continuous loop.
Approval controls
Manual, Smart, Auto Safe, Trusted Workspace, or YOLO. You decide how much autonomy Charles gets.
Sandbox by default
File access is scoped to your workspace. Reads outside require approval. Writes are gated by policy.
Knowledge & memory
Charles learns your codebase patterns, remembers decisions, and gets smarter with every session.
Any model, any provider
OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, local routers — bring your own models. No vendor lock-in.

How it works
From idea to shipped in one loop

Charles executes — editing files, running commands, verifying results. You approve what matters, skip what doesn't.
Ship with confidence
Review changes with checkpoints, rollback if needed, and commit when you're satisfied. Your code, your control.
