We’re proud to announce the launch of Agent Mode, a powerful new feature in Coder that gives you access to an intelligent development assistant that works like a senior engineer — experienced, focused, and always available.
What is Agent Mode?
Agent Mode is a context-aware, AI-driven development assistant that helps you solve problems, make technical decisions, and move faster across the entire software development lifecycle. Whether you’re building new features, reviewing code, refactoring legacy systems, or debugging complex issues, Agent Mode provides guidance and implementation at a senior level of expertise.
Why We Built It
Software teams often face bandwidth issues, knowledge gaps, or blockers that slow development. Agent Mode was created to fill that gap — by acting as a scalable, always-ready expert developer who can:
Understand your codebase
Make architectural recommendations
Write and review code
Unblock tasks with thoughtful, informed solutions
Agent Mode isn't just reactive — it's collaborative. It helps you reason through problems, explore tradeoffs, and execute with confidence.
Key Capabilities
Contextual Awareness
Agent Mode reads and understands your codebase, its structure, dependencies, and documentation. It doesn’t guess — it reasons.Task-Oriented Execution
From implementing a feature to writing tests, fixing bugs, or optimizing performance, Agent Mode can plan and complete technical tasks end-to-end.Conversational Collaboration
Ask questions, request reviews, or delegate a task. Agent Mode communicates clearly and professionally, like a seasoned teammate.Quality and Reliability
It applies established best practices, adheres to your conventions, and writes code that’s readable, scalable, and testable — as a senior engineer would.
How It Helps
Move faster without compromising quality
Get unstuck without waiting for code reviews or team input
Improve junior onboarding by reducing knowledge silos
Maintain velocity across sprints, even with limited staffing
Try It Today
Agent Mode is now available to all Coder users. To activate it, enter Agent Mode from your workspace dashboard or use the @agent command in your editor. You can assign tasks, ask for reviews, or request help on specific code areas — just like you would with a real teammate.
