The new framework lowers the bar for AI agent development, bringing autonomous coding capabilities to every stage of the software development lifecycle
NEW YORK, June 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Qodo, the quality-first AI coding platform, today announced the release of Qodo Gen CLI, a flexible agent framework that enables developers to instantly create, customize, and deploy their own AI coding agents. The framework transforms how teams automate their development workflows by making agent creation as simple as writing a configuration file, bringing the power of autonomous AI agents to every part of the software development lifecycle.
While AI coding assistants have become commonplace in IDEs, developers have lacked accessible tools to create autonomous agents that can handle complex tasks across their unique workflows and codebases. Building custom AI agents typically requires deep expertise in AI systems, significant infrastructure, and months of development time. This has limited autonomous coding capabilities to generic, one-size-fits-all solutions that don’t match specific organizational needs.
Qodo Gen CLI solves this by providing a simple yet powerful framework where developers can define custom agents through straightforward configuration files. Developers specify what triggers their agent, what tools it can access, what instructions guide its behavior, and what output it should produce. The framework handles all the complexity of AI orchestration, tool integration, and execution of multi-step tasks. Teams can create agents for any workflow, from automated code reviews and test generation to custom compliance checks and release management, all tailored to their individual standards and processes.
“Every developer should be able to create their own AI agents, just as they create scripts and automation today,” said Itamar Friedman, CEO and co-founder of Qodo. “By making agent creation simple and accessible instead of requiring complex AI engineering, we’re democratizing access to real automation that teams fully control.. Now a developer can create a custom agent for their unique workflow in minutes, not months.”
Qodo Gen CLI includes pre-built agents for common tasks like code review, test coverage analysis, and release notes generation that teams can use immediately or customize to their needs. These agents integrate seamlessly with existing development tools through GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, and other CI/CD systems. For advanced use cases, agents can be exposed as Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, enabling integration with other AI tools and platforms.
Key capabilities include support for leading coding LLMs (including OpenAI o3, and Claude Sonnet 4), a web-based UI, on-premise deployment options for enterprises with strict security requirements, and a growing library of reference implementations. Qodo Gen CLI is available now as a free tool with enterprise support options. Developers can get started immediately by installing the CLI tool through npm and following the quick-start guide at https://docs.qodo.ai/qodo-documentation/qodo-gen-cli
