Cline

Cline is an open-source AI coding agent designed to be your collaborative partner. It operates with a unique Plan/Act methodology, proposing changes and asking for clarification before editing your code. You can also grant it autonomy for larger refactoring tasks or scripted workflows.

It integrates seamlessly into your existing environment, available for Visual Studio Code, JetBrains IDEs, and as a powerful command-line interface (CLI) for terminal-first developers. Cline is tuned to work with frontier models from Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, and leading open-source labs.

Security and privacy are paramount. With a client-side architecture, your code and prompts are never seen by Cline. Key features for enterprises include:

• Bring Your Own Inference: Connect directly to Amazon Bedrock, GCP Vertex, Azure OpenAI, or models running on your own servers.
• Self-Hosted Deployment: Deploy within your VPC, on-prem, or in air-gapped environments to keep data within your security perimeter.

Use it to understand complex codebases, refactor large projects with consistency, and automate recurring tasks using the CLI.
