GPT Pilot

GPT Pilot is a local AI coding agent for developers who want to build applications under human supervision. The project is no longer maintained, and its model calls rely on external providers.

• Task-based development: The agent turns an app description into requirements and development tasks, then implements the work in stages.
• Review and debugging: Separate agents review changes and handle problems, with the developer involved in reviewing work and resolving issues.
• Saved progress: Continue an existing project from a saved step rather than starting the development process again.

GPT Pilot runs as a Python CLI, supports Docker, and is the core technology behind the Pythagora VS Code extension. It supports OpenAI, Anthropic and Groq, with Azure and OpenRouter accessible through its OpenAI connection. Those services require API credentials and internet access; model requests send project context to the selected provider.

A credential-stealing payload was present in the repository from August 2025 until its removal on June 11, 2026. Anyone who ran affected source code during that period should rotate credentials that were present on the machine. Simply having a copy without running it wasn't affected. The removal didn't resume development.
