Hello CodeGeeX team and community! 馃憢
Note: This is not a bug report for CodeGeeX, but a community initiative to improve VS Code's native support for open-source AI coding assistants.
Context
VS Code recently introduced an experimental interactive "pet" companion that sits above the chat input and reacts to AI agent activity. It's a fun, engaging feature, but currently, it only reacts to GitHub Copilot.
I opened a feature request in the official VS Code repository to ask them to extend this compatibility to powerful open-source agents like CodeGeeX, as well as other free alternatives.
Why this matters for CodeGeeX
As a powerful open-source AI coding assistant with excellent multi-language support, CodeGeeX deserves native recognition in VS Code. Getting the VS Code pet to recognize CodeGeeX would:
- Validate CodeGeeX as a first-class AI assistant alongside Copilot
- Provide better UX for CodeGeeX users in VS Code
- Show that open-source, multi-language AI tools deserve equal native recognition
- Demonstrate that the global developer community values diverse AI solutions
The Goal
The VS Code team requires 20 upvotes () on the issue within 60 days to keep it in their backlog. If it doesn't reach this threshold, the issue will be automatically closed.
How you can help (takes 5 seconds)
If you support this idea, please go to the VS Code issue and drop a 馃憤 reaction on the very first post (the description).
Important: Comments like "+1" do NOT count for the VS Code automation bot. Only the emoji reaction on the main post works!

Thank you for building such an amazing open-source tool, and thank you for your support!
