This topic walks you through a hands-on project using Qoder’s core features as an individual user. By the end, you’ll know how to use NEXT (next-edit suggestions), Inline Chat, and Ask / Agent in the Chat panel. When you need autonomous delegation for long-running, multi-step work, open the Quest window—let agents carry execution forward while you track board, progress, and artifacts in one workspace. These are the main entry points for AI-assisted coding and delegation. See Chat overview, NEXT, Inline Chat, and Quest overview.
Qoder Individual Edition is currently available as a free trial for all users. The trial duration is subject to change. For the latest information, please check product updates.

Explore features

  • Use NEXT (next-edit suggestions)
NEXT surfaces context-aware edit suggestions at your cursor to kick off AI-assisted coding.
  1. Type partial code or a natural-language request—for example, “Initialize a list.”
  2. Press ⌥ P (macOS) or Alt P (Windows) to show suggestions.
  3. Press Tab to accept the current suggestion.
NEXT supports multi-line edits and smooth completion. For full behavior, see NEXT.
  • Open Inline Chat
Use Inline Chat to get AI help in your code context.
  1. In the editor, press ⌘ I (macOS) or Ctrl I (Windows) to open Inline Chat.
  2. Enter your request and send—for example, “Add a method for handling file updates.”
  3. Press ⌘ ⏎ (macOS) or Ctrl Enter (Windows) to apply generated code.
See Inline Chat.
  • Use Ask / Agent in Chat
Press ⌘ L (macOS) or Ctrl L (Windows) to open Chat, then choose Ask or Agent in the toolbar for larger tasks.
  1. Enter a request on the right—for example, “Create tests for this function and run them.”
  2. After sending, follow Ask or Agent prompts to apply changes or run commands.
  3. Use Run or confirm actions as the UI suggests.
Ask is Q&A–first; Agent suits multi-file implementation.
  • Open Quest
Quest is for autonomous delegation: start long-running, multi-step tasks in a dedicated window, let agents keep execution moving, and review board, status, and deliverables in one workspace. See Quest overview.
