BustaAgents: an agent-first view of the same IDE

Hide the traditional IDE and give BustaAI the spotlight. Chat with agents, track their work and review changes — then switch back to the editor at any time without changing applications or losing the active conversation.

Download for Windows All features
BustaAgents mode: the same window centred on the agent chat with the greeting “Buenas noches, ¿qué tal?” and a Git panel on the right
BustaAgents mode in BustaCode 0.12.25: chats on the left, the conversation in the centre and the Git panel on the right (interface shown in Spanish).

Two modes. The same BustaAI.

  • BustaCode — Full IDE

    Your editor, terminal, debugger, extensions, Git tools and BustaAI in the same workspace.

  • BustaAgents — Agent-focused mode

    The traditional editor layout steps aside so you can focus on agent conversations, tasks and changes.

BustaAgents is not a separate application. It is a different view of the same BustaCode window, projects and conversations.

Switching between modes

  • The BustaAgents button lives in the title bar, at the top left of the window.
  • In BustaAgents, “Back to IDE” at the bottom left returns to the full editor.
  • You stay in the same window with the same projects, and the active conversation is kept.

What’s on screen

  • Chats

    New chat, chat search, folders and today’s conversations on the left.

  • Conversation

    The agent chat and the composer take the centre of the window.

  • Side panel

    Changes, Git, Context and Terminal tabs on the right, to follow and review what the agent does.
