Athena
Plan agent
Turns vague requirements into a surgical spec doc. Uses subagents for research. Delivers a Markdown plan you can read, edit, and trust before a single line of code is written.
Codey is not another chatbot. It is an agent operating system built on opencode: Athena plans. Prometheus builds. Scout explores. Iris assists. Talos automates. Matis ships. All running locally on your machine — with 70+ providers, 8 built-in MCPs, and privacy that hosted tools cannot match.
Terminal-native speed.
Multi-task sessions.
Your repo stays local.
Most tools ships demos.
Autopilot ships products.
Frontend. Backend. Database. Auth. Deployed. One prompt. One run. Done.
Your ideas. Your machine. Your code.
Not a rented workspace on someone else's server.
Not a black box that disappears when the subscription ends.
Codey runs where you run. Builds what you imagine. Remains yours.
Born in the TUI. Fast, observable, scriptable. No loading screens. No hidden state.
Parallel sessions, multi-tasking, visual workflows. The power of an IDE without the lock-in.
Your repo stays on your machine. Your keys. Your data. Your privacy. Not a SaaS hostage.

Docs, browser, Excel, Word, PDF, slides, files, n8n — no setup required.
Athena plans. Prometheus builds. Scout explores. Iris assists. Talos automates. Matis ships.
TUI for speed. Desktop for power. Web for access. One codebase, everywhere.
The important difference is not another chat box. Codey separates planning, exploration, execution, UI production, office work, and automation into named agents with clear jobs.
Plan agent
Turns vague requirements into a surgical spec doc. Uses subagents for research. Delivers a Markdown plan you can read, edit, and trust before a single line of code is written.
Build agent
The execution engine. Delegates exploration to Scout and side tasks to Iris so its context stays focused on building. No wasted tokens. No drift.
Explore subagent
Maps unfamiliar codebases in a separate thread. Returns structured findings. Saves the main agent's context for actual building, not reading.
General subagent
A parallel helper for implementation slices, research, or review. Works alongside the main agent without competing for context window.
n8n automation
Turns plain-language requests into working n8n workflows. No dragging nodes. No reading docs. Describe it. Talos builds it. Seconds.
Autopilot
Plans and builds production Next.js apps end-to-end in one run. Frontend, backend, database, design system — shipped, not demoed.
Codey keeps the developer surface local, then expands outward through MCP: current docs, browser checks, office files, PDFs, filesystem access, and n8n automation.
Athena + Prometheus
You stay in control. Athena writes the spec. Prometheus executes it. Review every step. Approve every change. Free forever.
Matis
One prompt. Full Next.js app. Frontend, backend, database, design system — built and deployed. Pro only. Replaces $25 tools at $10.
Hermes
Claude Cowork-level office automation with 8 MCPs already wired. Browser, docs, Excel, Word, PDF, slides, files, n8n. Pro only.
Privacy edge
Codey works where your files already live.
Unlike hosted app builders, the TUI and desktop app keep projects on your machine while still supporting providers, skills, MCP, and parallel sessions.
Every drop is a real capability gap between Codey and the tools you're already paying for. Same work. Better output. Local machine. Fraction of the cost.
Autopilot vs Lovable
Full Next.js • Frontend + Backend • One shot. No crying.
“I stopped paying $25/month for Lovable when I realized I was just paying for the loading screen. Autopilot by Codey builds the whole thing — frontend, backend, DB — while I watch.”
Talos vs n8n Official
Say it once. Talos builds the workflow.
“Tried the official n8n AI agent. It explained what I should do. Then I tried Talos inside Codey — it just… built the workflow. No config. No dragging. Just done.”
WorkPilot vs Claude Cowork
Browser • Docs • Excel • Word • PDF • n8n • Files • Slides — all built-in.
“Claude Cowork is cool but you gotta set it up, plug in MCPs, explain everything. WorkPilot inside Codey just… knows. All the tools are already there, already running.”
Matis Frontend Design
Not autocomplete. Not templates. Pure agent intelligence.
“Showed Matis a Figma screenshot + one sentence. Got a pixel-perfect Next.js component back. First try. I've tested 6 other AI coding tools and none came close to first-shot UI quality.”
Your Agent Has Agents
Scout explores. Iris assists. You ship.
“Most AI tools give you one context window and good luck. Codey runs subagents in parallel — Scout researches, Iris assists, and the main agent never runs out of context. It's actually smart architecture.”
Athena + Prometheus
Athena thinks. Prometheus executes. You win.
“Athena creates a full spec doc (like a technical PM would write). Then Prometheus builds from it. It's not just 'plan then code' — it's surgical.”
Context7 Always-Fresh Docs
No hallucinated APIs. No outdated syntax. Just facts.
“Codey agents pull live docs before every task via Context7. No more 'that API doesn't exist anymore' errors. It actually knows what version you're using.”
The base product stays useful. Pro is where Codey becomes a product-building, workflow-building, office-working autonomous system: Autopilot, WorkPilot, custom agents, and n8n.
