Building Kyrex — local-first AI coding agent. VS Code extension. IDE coming soon. No telemetry, BYOK, works with any LLM.

[Keith @KyrexAI]

I built Kyrex. A terminal AI agent that keeps the engineer in control.

One prompt. No file paths. No handholding.

It found the right files, made the changes, and showed me exactly what it was doing before touching a single file.

The model is the engine.
The harness determines how safely it operates.

@marckohlbrugge Building Kyrex Cloud — an AI coding agent that can actually operate on real repos, with multi-agent workflows and safety controls baked in.

Basically… teaching AI to touch production without letting it burn the house down. 😂🔥

[Keith @KyrexAI]

With new AI harnesses, IDEs, agents, and coding bots dropping every day, it's easy to overcomplicate things.

If you haven't tried Kyrex in VS Code, you're missing out on a solid AI-assisted coding workflow that keeps the familiar VS Code environment while adding:

🤖 Multi-model AI — use different LLMs instead of being locked to one.
🔐 Security-first execution — approvals, policies, tiers, and guardrails around what the agent can do.
🛡️ Controlled code execution — commands and file operations don't just get a free pass.
🌳 Isolated workspaces / rifts — safer environments for agent work.
🔧 Agentic coding workflows — let the agent actually work through coding tasks instead of just generating snippets.
🔌 MCP support — connect the agent to additional tools and services.
💬 Natural-language interaction — tell it what you're trying to accomplish instead of micromanaging every edit.
🧩 Provider agnostic — you're not tied to a single model provider.

And that's just the local development side.

@matthias_mrc Canceled claude yesterday. Testing codex now to see if it works for my needs.

[Keith @KyrexAI]

@Saanvi_dhillon I'll give you a reason to stay.. Kyrex.. Give it a try in vs code.

[Keith @KyrexAI]

Decided to cancel my Claude membership. Looking around now for an alternative.

Let me know what your using!

[Keith @KyrexAI]

Kyrex now browses MCP connectors.

Type /mcp-browse. Real catalog, categorized. Select a connector. See status, auth requirements, the exact install command.

Installed with one keypress.

Tested the connection live. Real handshake, tool count confirmed.

No manual config. No guessing install commands. Just browse, install, verify.

[Keith @KyrexAI]

Kyrex is optimized for mobile, allowing you to stay productive wherever you go.

[Keith @KyrexAI]

Kyrex Ecosystem is growing.

Kyrex Cloud is in development now. Once the IDE is in beta Cloud will follow close behind.

You can now try out Kyrex TUI and Kyrex VS-CODE. Open Source.

@markproduct If its trolling crap. Then yes. If its actually good feedback then no.

[Keith @KyrexAI]

@tommygetapps I put a lot of time into this. Calling it “AI slop” is just lazy. Keep the trolling to yourself.

[Keith @KyrexAI]

@deepseek_ai @novita_labs I will say Ling-3.0-Flash finished first every single time.
DeepSeek's code was slightly more idiomatic.

[Keith @KyrexAI]

RACE MODE: KYREX-IDE

Deepseek-V4-Flash vs Ling-3.0-Flash.

At the end, Deepseek wrote better code.

@deepseek_ai @novita_labs

[Keith @KyrexAI]

@rethink_hub For sure!!

@lightsilver323 Deepseek v4 flash

RACE MODE in the works for Kyrex IDE

@shogunx444 kyrex is working. https://t.co/xDqy5Pcf6g

@markproduct Facts. But its still my go too. ChatGPT is a close second.
