Product Overview
What is Void?
Void is a privacy-first, open-source AI code editor forked from Visual Studio Code. It empowers developers to write and edit code using advanced AI tools while retaining complete control over their data. Unlike proprietary editors, Void allows self-hosting of AI models locally or direct connection to any large language model (LLM) without routing data through third-party servers. It features intelligent autocomplete, inline editing, contextual chat modes, and seamless migration of VS Code settings, making it a versatile and secure environment for AI-assisted software development.
