Approvals
Ask first, or get out of the way
Default mode asks before edits and commands. Auto-Accept keeps trusted work moving. Plan mode stays read-only.
Install and work—no provider account, API keys, or model wiring. Give TheGitAI real autonomy while assistant edits remain reviewable, undoable, and recoverable by checkpoint.

Real work crosses files, tools, processes, tests, and documentation. TheGitAI keeps that chain coherent from the first investigation to the final handoff—and every change it makes along the way stays reversible.
Several lines of inquiry, one coherent result
Independent file reads, code searches, symbol queries, document reads, and web lookups run together. Mutations stay ordered.
The project keeps running while the agent works
Keep dev servers, watchers, builds, and local APIs alive. Follow output, inspect logs, and stop jobs without blocking the conversation.
From request to reviewed result
Give TheGitAI the outcome, not a sequence of tiny prompts. It can carry the work through investigation, implementation, verification, documentation, and handoff.
Control without hesitation
Trust does not come from a promise that nothing can go wrong. It comes from seeing what the agent is doing, holding the sensitive actions behind an approval, and knowing where it can and cannot reach.
Containment
It stays inside the repository you opened
Work is scoped to the project directory, sensitive paths are guarded, and secrets are stripped from the command output that reaches the model and your session history.
Inspectability
A source-visible local client
Local file, shell, session, approval, containment, and redaction behavior stays inspectable. Provider credentials remain server-side.
We don't store your source files, your prompts, or your conversations on our servers. Session history stays on your machine; the server keeps metadata only.
There is no dashboard to learn and no configuration ceremony. The shortest path to value is the repository already open in your terminal.
Install the CLI
One global install gives you the ai command. No project plugin or provider setup.
$ npm i -g @thegitai/cli
Sign in once
Use the browser flow locally or a one-time code on a remote machine. No API keys.
$ ai
Open a real repository
The agent works against the repository in your current directory and maps its structure.
$ cd your-project && ai
Ask for the outcome
Describe the finished result. Review progress, approve sensitive actions, and inspect the diff.

Real autonomy, still under your control
Hand it a real repository and a real task. Assistant edits stay reviewable, undoable, and recoverable by checkpoint while TheGitAI carries the work to a verified change.
