Agent, a native macOS coding IDE, integrates on-device Apple Intelligence for tool-calling (UI automation, multi-step tasks) without cloud LLM tokens, plus 17 LLM providers (Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok, Mistral, DeepSeek, Qwen, Z.ai, BigModel, Hugging Face, Ollama, vLLM, LM Studio, and others). Features include runtime app discovery (installing an app extends agent capabilities without code edits), multi-provider prompt caching to reduce token costs, on-device context compression (free, private), and anti-hallucination rules in system prompts. Positions itself as a replacement for Claude Code, Cursor, and Cline.
