WilBot Code Workbench & Agent CLI

Build full-stack software with WilBot Code—a web-based IDE with autonomous agent capabilities.

Prerequisites & Permissions

Visit https://wilbot.link/code or install the WilBot Desktop companion.

Architecture & Overview

WilBot Code (https://wilbot.link/code) is an agentic coding environment. It combines a browser-based Monaco editor, real-time file tree, interactive terminal execution, and an AI coding agent that plans, writes, and tests code autonomously.

With the optional desktop companion and local bridge CLI, developers can connect WilBot Code directly to local files on their Mac, Windows, or Linux machines, enabling agentic modifications with automatic git-like revision timelines.

Key Features & Capabilities

Autonomous Coding Agent

Generates multi-file diffs, runs test suites, and fixes bugs autonomously.

Local Filesystem Bridge

Connects your local machine securely via the `wilbot-code` CLI.

One-Click Revision Rollback

Every agent edit creates an undo checkpoint in the timeline.
