A free, open-source alternative to proprietary AI coding assistants (like Claude Code). Deep Code is a CLI tool that lets you:
- Build, edit, and analyze code and apps using DeepSeek via Groq API
- Automatically generate and save code files/folders for your requests—no more copy-paste!
- Use a privacy-first, community-driven, extensible coding agent.
- Proprietary tools are expensive and closed-source ($17–$200/month)
- You deserve full control, privacy, and transparency
- Open-source means no vendor lock-in and community-driven improvements
- Project structure, MIT license, and CI/CD
- Python virtual environment support
- CLI with config, chat, and version commands
- Interactive config: set API key and DeepSeek model
- Multi-turn coding chat: ask for an app, code is saved to files/folders automatically
- Clean output: only assistant replies, not raw API responses
- Error handling and user feedback
- Smarter folder and file naming (e.g., use app name, language, or user intent)
- Fewer commands: after config, launch coding chat automatically (no extra command needed)
- One-step startup: auto-create/activate venv and install dependencies if missing
- Global CLI install (e.g., just type
ai-codeanywhere) - More robust multi-file project support
- Plugin system for extensibility
- Git integration, code analysis, and more

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .deep-code config --set
# (Enter your Groq API key for DeepSeek)deep-codeThat's it! Just type deep-code anywhere and start building apps. The AI will:
- Generate code automatically
- Save files to folders
- Validate and fix errors
- Create working applications
Examples:
"build me a todo list web app""create a calculator with buttons""make a responsive landing page"
Type /exit to quit.
- Smarter file/folder naming
- Fewer startup steps
- Global CLI install
- Plugins, git, and more
