How Pixie works

Start with the task. Shape the tools around it.

Investigate, change and verify

Read the code, trace the problem, make the change. Pixie can run your project’s tests and diagnostics in the same session.
Keep the diff and the results close to the conversation. Review what changed before moving on.

Learn the standards Apply best practices

Enable research so Pixie learns the industry standards and best practices relevant to your task before it starts.
It applies what it learns to the work itself, from choosing an approach to the details of the implementation.

Build custom tools

A repo-specific review. A repetitive task turned into a command. A skill for the way your team works.
Pixie can write extensions and add them to the session. Inspect the code and checks, then keep the pieces that help.

A workspace that fits the job

Put changed files beside the conversation. Add a view for results. Keep useful controls within reach.
Terminal views and chrome are plugin contributions, so Pixie’s interface can grow with the work.

Make the routine part of the workflow

Use hooks for repeated steps and skills for project knowledge. Connect external tools through MCP.
Compose the workflow from plugins, with permission controls around the actions those tools can take.

Beyond code, in your terminal

Author a video composition, inspect its layers and work on the timeline alongside the agent.
With video plugins enabled, native Video Studio brings playback, preview, editing controls and a render queue into Pixie.

Pixie example

Illustrative workflows, shown with Pixie’s terminal interface.

Keep the task moving

Less repeated context. More room for the work.

Find relevant code

Explore file and symbol relationships without loading the whole repository into every request.

Carry work forward

Keep task state and the original session log while Pixie reduces older model context.

Frequently asked questions

Can I download Pixie yet?
Yes. Download Pixie for macOS, Windows or Linux, then connect your account and choose your plan.
Is Pixie free?
Pixie Basic costs US$10 per month and includes work on two devices at once, with multiple sessions on each. A paid plan is required to use the app. Your model provider bills separately. Cancel renewal at any time; paid access continues until the paid period ends.
Can Pixie really change its own tools and UI?
Tools, commands, views and interface regions come from plugins. Pixie can write new contributions and load them into the session. Review extension code and requested permissions before enabling it.
Which model can I use?
Pixie’s model providers are plugins too. Choose a model supported by your setup and configure the provider inside the app. Read about model providers.
Where should I send feedback?
