Early Access

Coder Agents is available through Early Access for the community to evaluate while the product is under active development. Participation comes with important expectations and limitations described below.

What Early Access includes

Early Access is a collaborative evaluation period between Coder and participating customers. It includes:

• Direct collaboration with the Coder product team — work with Coder engineers and product managers to share feedback, discuss use cases, and influence product direction.
• Architecture and functionality documentation — basic documentation covering how Coder Agents works and how it integrates into existing deployments.
• Feedback sessions — periodic check-ins with the Coder team to discuss real-world usage.
• Early exposure to new capabilities — access to new features or experimental functionality before public release.

What Early Access does not include

Early Access is not a production-ready offering. It does not include:

• Formal support coverage — no SLA-backed support.
• Stability guarantees — features and behavior may change without notice.
• Production readiness guarantees — functionality may not yet meet the reliability or scalability expectations of a GA feature.
• Complete documentation or tooling — operational guidance may be incomplete and will evolve.
• Long-term compatibility guarantees — APIs, configuration models, or workflows may change before General Availability.

Feature scope

Functionality available during Early Access may be a subset of planned capabilities. Some features may be incomplete, experimental, or subject to redesign.

Enable Coder Agents

Coder Agents is experimental and must not be deployed to production environments. It is gated behind the agents experiment flag. To enable it, pass the flag when starting the Coder server using an environment variable or CLI flag:

If you are already using other experiments, add agents to the comma-separated list:

Once the server restarts with the experiment enabled:

1. Navigate to the Agents page in the Coder dashboard.
2. Open Admin settings and configure at least one LLM provider and model. See Models for detailed setup instructions.
3. Grant the Coder Agents User role to users who need to create chats. Go to Admin > Users, click the roles icon next to each user, and enable Coder Agents User.
4. Developers can then start a new chat from the Agents page.

Licensing and availability

Features provided during Early Access may become paid licensed features at General Availability. Participants will receive reasonable advance notice before:

• Coder Agents reaches General Availability
• Early Access functionality transitions to a paid offering

Providing feedback

Participants are encouraged to share workflow feedback, feature requests, performance observations, and operational challenges. Feedback channels are coordinated directly with the Coder product team.
