# Welcome to BhaiCode (/)

> Two development surfaces — a native desktop workspace and an in-browser studio — powered by one agent core, in your language.

BhaiCode is a sovereign, developer-first AI coding platform. Pick the surface that
matches how you work; both share the same agent core, connectors, and Indic
multilingual engine.

<Card title="Desktop Workspace" icon="monitor" href="/desktop/overview" cta="Explore the desktop app">Native Tauri 2 + Rust + React 19. ~7–8 MB installer, ~45 MB idle RAM, local-first
execution, PTY terminal, and a visual diff review before anything touches disk.</Card>

<Card title="Cloud Studio" icon="cloud" href="/studio/overview" cta="Tour Cloud Studio">Zero-setup browser IDE at [app.bhaico.de](https://app.bhaico.de). Stream code,
preview on any device, provision a database, and ship to the edge in one click.</Card>

## Which surface should I use?

| You want to…                                                       | Use                   | Why                                                           |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------ | --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Work with an existing local repo, private code, or offline         | **Desktop Workspace** | Code never leaves your machine; keys live in the OS keychain  |
| Debug a terminal process, run migrations, or go deep in a codebase | **Desktop Workspace** | Real PTY, multi-file diffs, checkpoints you can roll back     |
| Start from a prompt in seconds with nothing installed              | **Cloud Studio**      | In-browser WebAssembly compiler, live preview, instant deploy |
| Ship a full-stack app with a database and a custom domain          | **Cloud Studio**      | 1-click Postgres/D1 provisioning and edge hosting             |

<Tip>Not sure? Start with **Cloud Studio** to prototype, then
[import the project](/getting-started/import-projects) into **Desktop Workspace** when
you need local execution and full control.</Tip>

### Desktop Workspace

* **Agentic Canvas Mode**: hand Bhai a task; it plans, edits across files, and reports progress live.
* **Ask AI on Selection**: highlight code and press `Cmd + K` / `Ctrl + K` to explain, refactor, or test it.
* **Multi-file diff review**: accept or reject hunk by hunk, with checkpoint rollback.
* **Transparency Dock**: approval gates before shell commands or out-of-workspace writes.
* **Integrated PTY terminal**: `xterm.js` + `portable-pty` with OSC 133 command blocks.
* **Local-first secrets**: API keys in macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Manager, or Linux Secret Service; offline models via Ollama.

### Cloud Studio

* **Prompt to app**: Next.js, Vite + React, Astro, Remix, or SvelteKit, compiled in the browser.
* **Live responsive preview**: desktop, tablet, and mobile viewports with a live console.
* **1-click connectors**: GitHub, GitLab, Vercel, Netlify, Neon, Supabase, Linear, Sentry via OAuth.
* **Instant deploys**: `*.bhaico.dev` subdomains with free TLS, or push to Vercel and Netlify.

## Built for how India writes code

Prompt in the language you think in — BhaiCode keeps code syntax intact while
explanations flow naturally.

| Language | Script | Example prompt                                                      |
| -------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Hindi    | हिन्दी | `इस कार्ट में coupon validation जोड़ो, पुराने checkout को न छेड़ो।` |
| Hinglish | Latin  | `Cart me coupon validation add karo, older checkout mat todo.`      |
| Bengali  | বাংলা  | `এখানে অথেন্টিকেশন ফলব্যাক যোগ করুন।`                               |
| Tamil    | தமிழ்  | `இங்கே பிழை கையாளுதலைச் சேர்க்கவும்.`                               |

Supported languages: Hindi, Hinglish, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Kannada,
