Introducing Qodo Gen CLI: Build and Run Coding Agents Anywhere in the SDLC

Summary

Today, we’re excited to announce in alpha, the Qodo Gen CLI, a powerful command-line interface for building, managing and running AI agents. With Qodo Gen CLI, developers can create their own agents, automate workflows across the SDLC and turn any IDE agentic. With Qodo Gen CLI, you get: Custom agents you control – Define what they do, when they run, and the tools they use Workflow-wide automation – Trigger agents from CI/CD, webhooks, or run them as MCPs Terminal and browser interaction – Use agents from your terminal or launch a full-featured Web UI Agentic IDE support – Bring AI capabilities into any IDE via the terminal Full model flexibility – Use any leading LLM, including Claude and GPT Flexible Deployment for Enterprises – SaaS, single and multi-tenant, On-premise support coming soon Try it now for free: npm install -g @qodo/gen Why we built Qodo Gen CLI The way software is built has changed.

What’s needed is a flexible, programmable layer that sits across the entire SDLC, not tied to one editor or platform, but integrated wherever work happens. Developers need agents that can run in the terminal, respond to events in CI/CD, listen to webhooks, and automate tasks across teams and repos. That’s what Qodo Gen CLI offers: an easy way to operationalize AI agents across your SDLC. Build Agents That Fit Your Workflow Qodo Gen CLI transforms how teams approach development automation by providing purpose-built, configurable, and trigger-based agents that integrate seamlessly into your ...
