Exponent is a collaborative AI programming assistant that runs in any environment and can perform tasks ranging from simple commands to multi-step workflows. You can use it to work in your local development environment via web or shell, in a CI/CD pipeline, or on a remote server.
How is Exponent different from other AI coding assistants?
While there are a lot of AI coding assistants available, we think Exponent is a unique mix of these traits:
Runs anywhere: Exponent works consistently across local development, terminal, CI/CD pipelines, and remote environments
Multi-step capabilities: Exponent can perform complex sequences of operations, checking results and taking next steps intelligently
Designed for power users: Exponent is built to complement the workflow of professional developers with a smooth product experience across multiple surfaces
Users who enjoy Exponent typically have a background in software development, view AI collaboration as a skill, and are partial to other pro software like Raycast or Linear.
Exponent excels at a wide range of programming tasks, including:
Learning and exploring unfamiliar codebases
Writing and improving code
Debugging issues
Creating and running tests
Setting up development environments
Performing git operations
Automating repetitive tasks
Running code reviews or self-healing pipelines in CI
Our users are constantly surprising us with new ways to use Exponent, so if you’re unsure whether Exponent can help with your use case, just give it a shot!
Exponent prioritizes the security and privacy of your code and data at every step:
Zero Training Policy: Exponent explicitly ensures your code will not be used for LLM training.
Explicit Approval Required: Every command and edit performed by Exponent requires your direct approval by default, giving you complete control over all interactions.
Minimum Information Policy: When working with Exponent in your local environment, Exponent’s CLI uses a secure connection to Exponent Server, and only transfers code and data on an as-needed basis relevant to the current task.
