Commander Codey — Your AI Engineering Crew, Running Locally

Core capabilities

Everything an AI dev team needs — under your command

Not a single chatbot. A coordinated crew of specialists, each with a role, working your missions end to end.

👥

A full AI crew

Commander, coders, reviewers, testers, security, docs, and more — 19 roles you assign to the models you choose.

⚡

Tandem Review

Two AIs build and check each other's work before it reaches you — fewer mistakes, higher-confidence output.

🔒

Runs on your machine

Local models via Ollama, local storage, local execution. Your code and prompts never leave your hardware.

🚪

Approval gates

Plan, code-review, and security checkpoints hold work until you (or a trusted role) approve it. Deny-by-default.

🎯

Mission workflows

Describe what you want; Codey plans the steps, seats the right crew, and runs Plan → Build → Test → Ship.

🧩

Bring your own models

Mix local and cloud — Claude, GPT, Gemini, and 24+ Ollama models. Assign any model to any role.

⚡ The differentiator

Tandem Review catches what a single AI misses

One model writes; a second independently reviews — before the work ever reaches you. It's pair programming for AI, built into every mission.

✓A builder implements; a reviewer critiques against your standards.
✓Disagreements surface as a consensus step — not silent guesses.
✓Required gates block risky changes until they pass review.
✓You see the full back-and-forth in the live activity trace.

👥 Your crew

Assign the right model to every role

Codey ships with 19 specialist roles across Command, Design, Build, Quality, Ops, Knowledge, and Media. Give each one the model that fits — a fast local model for drafts, a heavyweight for review.

✓Per-role read / write / execute permissions you control.
✓Team presets — Solo, Duo, Trio, Full Team, Tandem Review.
✓Warm models on login so your crew is ready when you are.
✓Editable briefs give every role its own instructions.

How it works

From intent to shipped — in four moves

Type what you want in plain language. Codey handles the orchestration.

01

Describe the mission

Tell Codey what you're building. It analyzes scope and suggests a crew.

→

02

Seat your crew

Apply a preset or pick roles and models. Warm them up with one click.

→

03

Run with gates

Plan → Build → Test → Ship. Approval gates hold risky steps for sign-off.

→

04

Review & ship

Tandem Review checks the work; you approve file changes before they land.

Privacy by architecture

Your work stays yours

Commander Codey is local-first by design — not as a setting you have to find, but as the default everything is built on.

🔒

Nothing leaves your machine

Local models, local storage, local execution. No telemetry, no prompt logging to a server, no training on your data.

🚪

Deny-by-default

Roles are read-only until you grant write or execute. Sandboxed commands run against an allowlist you define.

📋

You approve every change

File edits and command execution pause for your approval — once, per session, or per file. You're always in the loop.

Questions, answered

No. With local models, everything — prompts, code, files, execution — stays on your hardware. If you choose to add a cloud model (Claude, GPT, Gemini), only the requests you explicitly route to it are sent to that provider. The default is fully local.

One AI role builds while a second independently reviews the work against your standards — before it reaches you. Disagreements surface as a consensus step, and required gates block risky changes until they pass.

No. Codey runs small, fast local models comfortably on modern laptops, and lets you assign heavier models only to the roles that need them. You control the size/speed tradeoff per role.

Never. Community is free forever. Pro and Premium are one-time purchases — a license, not a rental. Pro: 1 year of updates included, then optional $22/year; Premium includes lifetime updates with no renewal. No recurring subscription. Your purchase provides a personal, revocable license to use Commander Codey; it does not transfer ownership. See Terms.

24+ local models via Ollama out of the box, plus optional cloud models (Claude, GPT, Gemini, and more). Assign any model to any of the 19 roles.
