CodeFlicker – Kuaishou’s AI-Native IDE

What is CodeFlicker？

CodeFlicker is an AI-native integrated development environment (IDE) launched by Kuaishou. It is an intelligent code editor with a range of advanced features. It supports AI-powered Q&A and code auto-completion, understanding developers’ questions and providing intelligent coding suggestions. CodeFlicker introduces agent-based AI programming, allowing the system to understand and execute complex programming tasks like a human developer, enabling end-to-end development from requirements to code generation. It offers multiple interaction modes, such as Jam mode and Duet mode, suited for immersive programming and team collaboration, respectively. CodeFlicker can reshape context and deeply understand large codebases, helping developers manage and maintain code more efficiently. Through the MCP platform, it can flexibly integrate multiple data sources and tools, expanding its application scenarios.
