Super Code AI

Nova is an autonomous AI software engineer from Supercode AI, pitched as an open-source alternative to Cognition's Devin . The workflow mirrors what a junior engineer would do on a ticket: it reads the repository, drafts a plan, writes the code, runs the existing test suite, reviews its own diff, and then reports back with what it changed. It targets developers who want an agentic teammate they can actually inspect and self-host rather than a closed hosted product. Nova sits on top of the broader Supercode stack, an open-source AI coding agent that runs in the terminal and can read files, run commands, edit code, open applications, and search the web through natural language, with granular permissions on every action . It is model-agnostic by design, with support for providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, DeepSeek, Groq, Mistral, Ollama, and OpenRouter, so teams can route Nova's planning and coding steps to whichever backend they already pay for. The launch matters because the "AI SWE" category is still dominated by closed, credit-metered offerings, and independent teams have been asking for a transparent agent loop they can extend. Supercode is built by Yash Dewasthale (@dewyashtwts), who previously shipped the Supercode beta as an open-source terminal agent , and Nova is the next step from a scoped CLI helper toward an end-to-end coding agent that operates against real repositories.
