AI Coding Agent which helps you write production quality code. It generates code, runs commands, and debugs existing code all on its own. With built-in automation and intuitive UI, Helix helps you build enterprise grade softwares.
Built for AI-Powered coding, Helix is the best way to code with AI yet!
Hello Product Hunt Community!
I'm Nijansh, the co-founder of OpenGig, and I'm thrilled to be launching the beta version of our Coding Agent - Helix!
💡 Why Helix?
Our focus from Day 1 is to help businesses ship Production-Grade apps and not just toy apps. For complex projects, Helix is your coding agent.
On Helix, the agent understand other files if needs to read for every change in order to make an accurate edit. It will read the file itself without us providing the file, and then proceed with the update.
🎯 Our vision:
The most powerful Coding agent that combines the research and planning capabilities of CTO along with coding capabilities of SWE!
No more spending hours prompting back and forth for every feature you want to build.
Our PM Agent+Coding Agent will make Product Teams launch 100x faster.
❓ What makes us different?
Truly thoughtful agentic coding with extensive tool use (terminal, computer use, websites, etc)
Writes the best code with fewer mistakes, better self-healing, but no inline chat.
PM Agent right there in your VS code to plan user stories in detail
Experience pair programming like Never Before with OG PM Agent + OG Coding Agent!
🎁 Special Launch Offer!
To celebrate our Beta launch, early users will get:
We can’t wait for you to join us on this journey! Upvote if you’re as excited as we are and comment to put down your thoughts —much more coming soon. 💙🔥

@opengig_nijansh Congrats Nijash. I would have tried most of these apps but struggled to get past any one who is good at building slightly complex apps and is underdoing stuff when it comes to simple apps with basic integrations that make them actually useful. Eager to know, how Helix is different for non dev / but app enthusiasts like us.
Hey @imraju Helix was built keeping in mind the use cases of a developer. For non devs, our team of expert engineers are always open to have a chat and help in building the product they have envisioned.
Congrats on launching Helix! One question—how do you ensure the generated code aligns with specific enterprise standards and security best practices across different industries or teams? @opengig_nijansh
@zimbra Helix follows industry best practices by default, but we know every enterprise has its own standards. You can define custom rules directly in the PM Agent project settings or by adding an ".ogrules" file in your project’s root. Helix will automatically align its code to your defined standards.
@zimbra@nileshdarji Thank you for your comment Qichen. To add, we are also working on optimizations to better index and summarize large repos. That will help us align the generated code with specific code standards.
Hey @zimbra Helix was built keeping in mind the requirements of enterprises, since we ourselves use this tool to build softwares this was our priority concern.
Huge congrats on launching Helix! The idea of an AI agent that not only generates but also runs and debugs code autonomously is incredibly powerful—especially for teams aiming to ship fast without sacrificing quality. The focus on production-grade output and automation makes this feel like more than just a coding assistant—it’s a co-pilot for serious software development.
How do you ensure reliability and context awareness across large codebases? And do you see Helix evolving into a full devops companion beyond just code generation?
Thank you@susaana_s for your thoughtful comment. Yes Helix is just a second step towards our bigger goal of achieving full deployment platform. We have plans to launch specific agents for specific use-cases in the coming days
🎉 Huge congrats Nijansh & OpenGig on launching Helix! As an product lead, I'm blown by your "PM Agent + Coding Agent" combo – planning user stories AND generating production-grade code? That's a game-changer for dev teams! 🤖✨ The autonomous file-reading feature is genius – no more manual context dumping! 🚀 Terminal integration and self-healing also make it 10x smarter than typical AI coders.
Quick idea: Could you add a "code diff viewer" in the VS Code extension? Visualizing AI's changes would boost team trust.
@rocsheh Really appreciate it! 🙌 And yes, we already have a diff viewer built in! After every edit, Helix creates a checkpoint so you can review all code changes, compare diffs, and even restore to any previous state. Also after each task completed, it shows a full list of modified files with side-by-side diffs.
@shenjun Our main goal is to build a set of agents which has complete context of entire project and work togethet to give customized output. This coding agent also doesn't work standalone but talks to PM agent and get insight on which task has been done and which needs to be implemented and work based on that context.

@abhilasha2 I really like the design of your product, Cursor's implementation is more like a coding Copilot Agent. I think your goal of designing it to be a collaborative form with agents is excellent; this is indeed the direction of the next generation.

Love how it handles the full dev cycle from generation to debugging.how does it enforce security/compliance standards in auto-generated code?

@denzel_downs Thank you so much for your kind words 🙌. We are also working on a QA agent and compliance agent that we'll be launching in the coming months.
CI/CD pipelines are a whole different game @desmond_ren1, Helix is a goto choice to build and refactor quality code, its integration with PM Agent makes it unique. Our vision for agentic platform incorporates these considerations as well. We will release a separate DevOps Agent in some time which will make it more clear.
@lakshya_singh the most fascinating thing for me was its ability to build something which I truly wanted it to build even though I knew nothing about the framework or code! What I did was just fed with some existing look-a-like code and it built exactly what I envisioned. Haven't seen this much of accuracy with any other existing agents.

@prv I am not into coding but I love exploring the tech. Will give it a try this weekend!
Congrats on the launch, Nijansh and Team OpenGig! 👏
Helix looks like a serious leap forward for AI-assisted development. Love the focus on production-grade apps — too many tools stop at prototypes. The combo of PM Agent + Coding Agent working together directly inside VS Code is super compelling. It feels less like just “AI help” and more like having a full-stack teammate who understands both the product vision and technical execution.
Thankyou very much@williamrobertscott for such a thoughtful comment. Indeed, apart form rest of the features, the integration of PM Agent in Helix is what makes it unique.

@susaana_s Thanks for comment
To stay reliable and context-aware in large codebases, Helix uses a few smart techniques:
It reads VSCode’s built-in index to understand functions, imports, and references.
Helix traces how parts of the code are connected, so suggestions always stay relevant.
It focuses only on the current file and related code, avoiding unrelated noise.
Recent changes are cached to keep things fast without showing outdated info.
