What is PIXI?

PIXI is a terminal-based AI coding assistant that helps you write, debug, and refactor code directly from your command line. It supports multiple AI providers and gives you a rich TUI (terminal user interface) experience.

Features

• Multi-provider AI — Works with Anthropic, OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, Google Gemini, and more
• Rich terminal UI — Interactive TUI with syntax highlighting, file diffs, and conversation history
• Tool use — AI can read/write files, run commands, search code, and more
• Session management — Save and resume coding sessions
• MCP support — Extensible via Model Context Protocol servers
• Customizable — Configure themes, keybindings, providers, and models

Configuration

On first run, PIXI will guide you through setting up your AI provider. You can also configure it manually:

# Set your preferred provider
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-..."
# or
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."

Run pixicode and select your provider and model from the settings menu.
