aura-code
by DusanCar-sudo
Aura is a command-line AI coding agent that takes a task written in plain English, reads your codebase, makes changes, runs commands and checks the result. It keeps notes on your machine between sessions and can use many different AI models, including local ones.

What you can do with it
- Ask it in plain English to refactor or fix code, and let it edit files, run commands and verify the result
- Switch between cloud models and a local model to control cost, or use a lean chat mode for non-coding questions
- Control it remotely through Telegram or a web studio with a chat, Kanban board and code editor

Our suggestion based on what it does, not a feature-by-feature comparison.
Make money with it
A freelance developer could use it to deliver small code fixes and refactoring jobs faster and take on more client work.
An idea, not financial advice. Check the licence before charging for anything built on it.
Ways a business could use it
- Speed up client software work by handing routine refactors, bug fixes and tests to the agent
- Cut AI costs by routing simple tasks to a free local model and saving paid models for hard problems
Can you use it commercially?
Free to use, change and sell, including in paid products. Keep the copyright notice.
Not legal advice. Read the project's licence file before building a product on it.
Getting it running
Install globally with npm (npm install -g aura-code), set an API key such as DEEPSEEK_API_KEY, then run aura with your task.
Follow the official instructions in the project README.
Things to check
- Needs a paid API key for cloud models unless you run a local model
- Gives an agent access to email, calendar, shell and screen control, so permissions need careful setting
- Young project with few stars
- README makes unverified performance claims
