CodeBuddy Web is a browser-based entry of CNB Workspaces that lets you use CodeBuddy Code's AI coding capabilities directly in the browser, with no local client installation required.

Getting Started

Click Workspaces in the top-right corner of a repository's branch page to create or open a workspace, then click CodeBuddy Web on the workspace entry selection page or the My Workspaces list page to enter the browser-based CodeBuddy UI.

Comparison with WebIDE

CodeBuddy Web and WebIDE are both browser-based entries of CNB Workspaces, each with a different focus:

Dimension	WebIDE (code-server)	CodeBuddy Web
Positioning	Full VS Code editor	Browser UI of CodeBuddy Code
Interaction	Direct code editing	AI-driven coding
Client	Browser, no install	Browser, no install
Requires	Built-in by default	Image has codebuddy (>= 2.137.0)

• WebIDE: a full VS Code experience, best for manual editing and debugging.
• CodeBuddy Web: the browser UI of CodeBuddy Code, best for AI-assisted coding in the browser.

Version Requirement

CodeBuddy Web is only available when the workspace image satisfies:

• The codebuddy command is installed
• The codebuddy version is 2.137.0 or later

For custom development environments, make sure @tencent-ai/codebuddy-code (which provides the codebuddy command) is installed in the image. If the image does not have codebuddy installed or the version is too low, the CodeBuddy Web entry will not appear on the workspace entry selection page or the My Workspaces list page. See Custom Development Environments to install a codebuddy that meets the version requirement.
