Codemonkey AIlearn to code, locally
Learn to code with a patient AI tutor, right on your own computer.
Codemonkey AI is a friendly desktop app that teaches you to code from scratch. Pick a language, work through bite-size lessons, and build real projects, with an AI tutor on hand to explain anything, drop a hint, or quiz you. No account to set up, and nothing ever leaves your computer, so your progress stays yours.
A full coding course, built right into the app.
Everything you need to learn is already inside: 20 language tracks, thousands of step-by-step lessons, hands-on projects, and a glossary you can search. Your AI tutor sits alongside all of it, ready to help the moment you get stuck.
A real coding workspace
Lessons on one side, a place to actually write code on the other.
Codemonkey AI is more than a list of lessons. You can chat with your tutor, follow lessons step by step, and try things out in a built-in code editor and terminal, all in the same window.
Lessons and tutor help
Each language opens into clear, step-by-step lessons. Tap to have the tutor explain a step, give a hint, quiz you, or show the answer, exactly where you need it.
Try out your code live
The same app gives you a chat, a safe space to run code, a terminal, and your files, so you can ask a question and try the answer right away without leaving the lesson.
Four ways to use it
Chat, learn, build, and look things up.
Switch between them with a tap in the sidebar. Your AI tutor comes along the whole way, and always knows what you're working on.
Chat
Ask your AI tutor anything as you go. Use it to explain an error, walk through an idea, or look over your code, and try out what it suggests right there in the app.
Lessons
Pick from 20 languages, sorted from beginner to advanced, and work through short, focused lessons. Stuck on a step? Tap "Explain", "Hint", "Quiz me", or "Show solution".
Projects
Build real, small projects with a clear goal and starter files to get you going. Your tutor can see the whole project, so its help always fits what you're making.
Glossary
A searchable list of 88 coding terms in plain language, with links to related ideas, so a new word is never more than a click away.
