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

01

Install & launch

Download the desktop app or run via CLI. Charles sets up your workspace and scans your project.

02

Describe what you need

Tell Charles what to build, fix, or investigate. It reads your code, plans the approach, and picks the right tools.

03

Watch it work

Charles executes — editing files, running commands, verifying results. You approve what matters, skip what doesn't.

04

Ship with confidence

Review changes with checkpoints, rollback if needed, and commit when you're satisfied. Your code, your control.

Pricing

Simple, honest pricing

No hidden fees. No per-seat charges. Upgrade or cancel anytime.
