• Qoder is an agentic coding platform developed by Alibaba.
• It integrates intelligent agents, deep context engineering, and long-term memory for software development.
• The platform goes beyond simple autocomplete and offers proactive assistance by understanding the codebase holistically.
• Features of Qoder include memory retention across tasks and the ability to delegate complex tasks based on clear specifications.
• The system operates in two modes: Agent Mode for conversational assistance and Quest Mode for autonomous planning, coding, testing, and validation based on user specifications.
• Additional features include a project-level "Repo Wiki," context-aware memory, and integration with large language models tailored for practical software projects.
• Qoder aims to shift developers' roles towards specification, review, and orchestration while automating boilerplate and scaffolding tasks.

What is Qoder?
Qoder is Alibaba’s agentic coding platform that combines intelligent agents, context memory, and autonomous task delegation to help developers build real software more efficiently.
How do Agent Mode and Quest Mode differ?
Agent Mode enables conversational, back-and-forth assistance for shorter tasks; Quest Mode lets you provide a specification and have Qoder autonomously plan and execute multi-step tasks.
What is the Repo Wiki?
The Repo Wiki is an automatically generated, living documentation of your project’s architecture, modules, and dependencies to aid understanding and onboarding.
How is usage measured and priced?
Usage is measured in “Credits.” Teams pay based on credit consumption, and pricing excludes applicable taxes and duties.
Which AI models does Qoder support under the hood?
Qoder is aligned with Alibaba’s Qwen model by default, but it can intelligently route tasks to alternate models like GPT and Claude when advantageous.
