What it is

stagewise is an open-source agentic IDE. Its AI agents can read, search, and modify files in connected workspaces while the browser and terminal stay in the same working environment.

Why it is selected

When a task spans frontend, backend, or several projects, keeping code, previews, and agent context together reduces tool switching.

Who it suits

Developers who want AI help with an existing codebase while retaining a choice of models and inference providers.

Useful for

  • Working on one feature across frontend and backend workspaces
  • Comparing a browser preview with an interface change in code
  • Using an existing API subscription or a local model for development work
