Do I need an account or an API key to use CodePilot?
Yes. CodePilot is the app itself, and you connect it to an AI provider such as Claude, Gemini, or an OpenAI-compatible service by entering your own API key for that provider in Settings.
How hard is it to set up?
You download and install the app for Mac, Windows, or Linux, then add your AI provider's API key in Settings. No coding or configuration files are required.
Can I use this to generate images?
Yes — the built-in Media Studio can create images from a written description, run batches of image requests, and save the results to a gallery.
Can I use this to control my AI assistant while I'm away from my computer?
Yes — you can connect apps like Telegram, Discord, or WeChat so you can send messages from your phone and get replies from your desktop assistant.
Which AI models can I use with it?
You can connect Claude, Gemini, OpenAI-compatible services, and more than a dozen other providers, then switch between them at any time, even in the middle of a conversation.
Does it work on Mac, Windows, and Linux?
Yes, CodePilot has downloadable installers for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
Is my data private?
Your conversations and files are stored locally on your own computer rather than uploaded to a separate company's servers.
Can I pick up a conversation where I left off?
Yes — you can pause a session and resume it later, or rewind to an earlier point in the conversation if you want to try a different direction.
