KODEO Assist in VS Code
Ask KODEO Assist anything about KODEO without leaving VS Code — in the KODEO panel, with answers that stream in and cite the Help Center, and past conversations to resume. It never sees your code.
KODEO Assist — the same Assist as on every page of KODEO — is built into KODEO for VS Code.
Open it
- The Assist tab of the KODEO panel (next to the terminal — or wherever you moved it), or
- KODEO: Ask Assist (Alt+A). The panel's corner button opens it as an editor tab, as wide as you like.
Type a question and press Enter — or pick one of the suggestions. The answer streams in as it's written; the send button becomes Stop while it does; + starts a fresh conversation.
Past conversations
The clock button lists your conversations from the last 30 days — the same ones as in the browser's Assist. Open one to read it and carry on where you left off; the bin deletes it.
What you get with an answer
- Sources — the Help Center articles the answer comes from; click one to open it in your browser (or search the panel's Help tab).
- Cards — things Assist can point you to (your security settings, billing, a support ticket…). A card opens the page; Assist never does anything itself.
- 👍 / 👎 — tell KODEO whether it helped. A 👎 goes to the people who look after Assist.
What Assist knows about you
- It's told which editor you're in (VS Code, Cursor…), whether you're live in a project, your role there, and how many people are in the room — plain state words, checked by KODEO's server. Never your code, your files, errors or terminal output.
- The first time, it asks what it may look at. With your OK it can read your plan, usage, roles, security settings and your signed-in computers (read-only) to answer questions about your own account. You can change this any time in KODEO under Settings → Privacy & AI.
Limits
Assist has a daily number of questions per plan (shown under the question box) and pauses for everyone if its daily budget runs out — the Help Center and support tickets keep working. It helps with KODEO itself, not with writing or fixing code.
