## Features

### Cloud and local LLMs

Aider works best with Claude 3.7 Sonnet, DeepSeek R1 & Chat V3, OpenAI o1, o3-mini & GPT-4o, but can connect to almost any LLM, including local models.

### Maps your codebase

Aider makes a map of your entire codebase, which helps it work well in larger projects.

### 100+ code languages

Aider works with most popular programming languages: python, javascript, rust, ruby, go, cpp, php, html, css, and dozens more.

### Git integration

Aider automatically commits changes with sensible commit messages. Use familiar git tools to easily diff, manage and undo AI changes.

### In your IDE

Use aider from within your favorite IDE or editor. Ask for changes by adding comments to your code and aider will get to work.

### Images & web pages

Add images and web pages to the chat to provide visual context, screenshots, reference docs, etc.

### Voice-to-code

Speak with aider about your code! Request new features, test cases or bug fixes using your voice and let aider implement the changes.

### Linting & testing

Automatically lint and test your code every time aider makes changes. Aider can fix problems detected by your linters and test suites.

### Copy/paste to web chat

Aider works best with LLM APIs, but it can also work an LLM via its web chat interface. Aider streamlines copy/pasting code back and forth with a browser.
