What is it?
AutoDev Xiuper is an AI-native, multi-agent development platform built on Kotlin Multiplatform. It groups several specialized agents for document research, coding, code review, natural-language database queries, and generating self-contained runnable artifacts such as HTML, React, SVG and Mermaid diagrams.
The shared runtime targets IntelliJ IDEA and VS Code plugins, a CLI, desktop JVM, Android, iOS, JS/WASM web apps and a Ktor-based server. The coding agent uses built-in file system, grep/glob, shell and web fetch tools, supports MCP, and automatically reads AGENTS.md files from the project hierarchy. It works with multiple LLM providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek and Ollama.
The project also includes a set of sub-agents for tasks such as error recovery, SQL revision, chart generation, codebase investigation and end-to-end testing. Tree-sitter parsing covers Java, Kotlin, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Go, Rust and C#. The project is currently in alpha, and some modules such as the iOS shell and the web landing page sit outside the default Gradle build.
