Introduction

Tuvo Code is an open-source AI coding agent that runs directly in your terminal. It connects to multiple AI providers—including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Qwen, OpenRouter, and local models via Ollama—to help you write, refactor, debug, and understand code without leaving your development environment.

Who It's For

Tuvo Code is designed for developers who live in the terminal. Whether you're building new features, fixing bugs, reviewing pull requests, or exploring unfamiliar codebases, Tuvo Code provides AI assistance that understands your project context and acts on your behalf—with your explicit approval at every step.

Why Use Tuvo Code

  • →Agentic workflow — Tuvo doesn't just answer questions; it reads files, makes edits, runs commands, and verifies results
  • →Multi-provider support — Switch between Claude, GPT, Gemini, local models, and more without changing your workflow
  • →Terminal-native — No GUI, no browser, no context switching; works over SSH and integrates with your existing tools
  • →Open source — Apache 2.0 license, fully auditable, no vendor lock-in

How It Differs from Chat-Based Assistants

Unlike web-based chat interfaces, Tuvo Code operates directly in your codebase. It can read your files, understand your project structure, propose changes, and execute commands—all while keeping you in control. Every modification requires your explicit approval, ensuring you maintain full oversight of your code.
