One chat panel. Any provider. Your keys, your models.
Tempr is a bring-your-own-key (BYOK) AI coding assistant for Visual Studio 2022 & 2026. Add your own API key for a first-party provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, and 20+ more) or an aggregator like OpenRouter, and pick whichever model fits the task — nothing routed through a shared pool, no rate-limit surprises, no vendor lock-in.
🤖 Agent mode, your way
A real tool-calling loop that reads, searches, and edits your codebase and runs whitelisted commands — with three control levels:
- Interactive — approve every change before it lands
- Bypass — auto-apply edits, you review after
- Autopilot — hands-off multi-step execution
The agent is debugger-aware (inspects the live call stack and locals, evaluates expressions mid-session), test-aware (runs your tests with structured pass/fail results), and solution-aware (live compiler diagnostics, project references, call graph).
🎭 Personas & multi-agent delegation
Type @debugger, @test, @security, @review, @docs, @refactor, @modernize, @profiler, @git, or @plan for a specialist prompt and tool scope — or define your own custom personas (Pro).
Mid-turn, the agent can hand focused sub-tasks off to specialist personas — e.g. delegating root-cause analysis to @debugger while it keeps working — running several in parallel when it helps.
🔍 Real semantic code search
Embedding-based search over your solution finds conceptually related code even when the wording doesn't match — not just grep with extra steps. Pick context precisely with #file and #symbol.
⚡ Inline completion & chat editing
Ghost-text completions suggest the next line as you type — press Tab to accept — plus inline chat editing directly in the editor. Rich Markdown chat with one-click copy/insert, slash commands (/explain, /fix, /tests, /doc), and full chat history.
