Code Web Chat

Code Web Chat is a versatile, free and open-source (FOSS) AI coding tool that connects VS Code with ChatGPT, AI Studio, DeepSeek, and 10+ other free chatbots.

✅ Save money—use generous free tiers and subscription-based billing
✅ Save time—integrate multi-file changes from a single response

Available in VS Code, Cursor, and other forks.

Guiding principles

• Initialize chatbots—don't scrape responses
