## Why TiyCode

TiyCode <sub>/taɪ koʊd/</sub> is built for people who want coding to feel native to the AI era. Conversation is not a companion to the workflow here, but the starting point of it. You define goals, constraints, and feedback. The agent understands context, uses tools, and drives execution forward inside a real workspace.

Around that collaboration model, TiyCode brings together Agent Profiles, workspace-based threads, code review, version control, terminal workflows, and an extensible runtime in one local-first desktop product.

## Highlights

- **AI-first coding collaboration.** TiyCode is designed around the idea that humans express intent through conversation while agents take the lead in execution.
- **Agent Profiles.** Mix models from different providers, tune response style, language, and custom instructions, and switch profiles flexibly for different kinds of work.
- **Three-tier model architecture.** Each profile supports a Primary model for core reasoning, an Auxiliary model for helper tasks, and a Lightweight model for fast operations — with automatic fallback chains across tiers.
- **Multi-provider support.** Connect to 13+ LLM providers out of the box — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Ollama, xAI, Groq, OpenRouter, Gemini, MiniMax, Kimi, and more — or add any OpenAI-compatible endpoint as a custom provider.
- **Workspace-centered execution.** Threads stay grounded in the local
