Echo Guide

Echo is a local-first programmer's AI harness. Though it may allow you to "vibe code", it's made for more serious programmers. It's design is to allow you to work with your AI on creating and modifying program code. You can break down large ideas into Kanban tasks for the AI to execute. You can easily review all code changes, you can even manually write code directly using Echo.

Local Setup

You can host a model through any OpenAI compatible endpoint, Llama.cpp, Ollama, LM Studio, Anything LLM, vLLM, etc.

Once you've hosted your model on a server, you can go into the settings and set the model URL and the model name you're hosting.
