A free AI assistant for coding and debugging
Use ArcAI for coding help, quick code drafts, debugging, and changes to connected GitHub repositories.
ArcAI helps explain, draft, and debug code in chat. Code Canvas provides a space for quick scripts and prototypes, while GitHub Mode can prepare changes to a connected repository.
Coding with AI works best when the assistant can move from explanation to implementation. ArcAI can explain and draft code, provide a canvas for quick scripts, and prepare changes to connected GitHub repositories.
The important difference is consolidation. Instead of bouncing between separate tools for Code Canvas, debugging, UI changes, scripts, ArcAI puts those workflows in one account with one memory system and one interface. That matters for searchers comparing assistants because the question is rarely just price — it is whether the product is useful enough to become a daily habit.
ArcAI provides coding help in chat, Code Canvas for quick scripts and prototypes, and GitHub Mode for connected repository changes.
Frequently asked questions
What coding tools does ArcAI include?
Code Canvas is useful for quick scripts and prototypes. GitHub Mode can prepare changes to a connected repository on a branch for a pull request.
Code Canvas is useful for quick scripts and prototypes. GitHub Mode can prepare changes to a connected repository on a branch for a pull request. In practical terms, this means you can start with a normal question and keep going into follow-ups, research, drafts, files, images, voice, or code without switching products. ArcAI is designed for the kind of messy, real workflow where a user asks one thing, changes direction, adds context, and expects the assistant to keep up.
That makes ArcAI useful for learning code, exploring fixes, and preparing repository changes for review.
