Codistry

Codistry is a privacy-first AI coding agent for VS Code that maps your entire codebase into a live knowledge graph so every change propagates to callers, tests, and dependencies — the parts other agents skip. It connects directly to any AI provider you control: Anthropic, OpenAI, custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints, or local models via Ollama/LM Studio for fully offline, air-gapped operation. Your code never leaves your environment; the extension runs entirely inside VS Code with zero data collection. Codistry supports reasoning models (OpenAI o1/o3/GPT-5 effort levels), MCP integration for external tools, project memory that learns your conventions, and context rules for project-specific AI behavior. Free Developer tier available; Pro, Team, and Enterprise plans for hosted model access. Launched August 2026 by Adronite (ex-AWS engineers) with benchmarks showing ~50% token cost reduction vs. Claude Code on enterprise repos.

codemap is an MIT-licensed project brain for AI coding tools that gives LLMs instant architectural context from your codebase without burning tokens. It generates a fast tree/context view, dependency flow, dependency blast-radius analysis, and a layered handoff format for cross-agent continuation, then exposes everything through a JSON context bundle and an MCP server compatible with Claude Code and Codex. A built-in Codex plugin and community skill registry make it easy to install and share. Developers use codemap to onboard agents to large repos in seconds, keep session continuity across handoffs, and scope the impact of a change before running it.

Ollama is a local AI platform for running, managing, and sharing open models on your own machine or private infrastructure. It makes it easy to pull models, serve them through an API, and integrate local inference into developer workflows without relying on a fully managed cloud stack. Teams use Ollama for privacy-sensitive assistants, internal tools, offline experimentation, and rapid testing of open-weight models across laptops, workstations, and servers. It is especially useful for developers, operators, and AI builders who want quick setup with less operational overhead. What makes Ollama distinctive is how approachable it is: it packages model runtime, distribution, and deployment into a streamlined experience that helps people get productive with local AI in minutes instead of spending days on configuration.
