Unlock the power of **AI-native development** with **Eclipse Theia AI** and the **AI-powered Theia IDE**—a fully open-source coding environment that puts *you* in control.
In this in-depth demo, Jonas Helming from EclipseSource shows how to:
✅ Integrate and customize your preferred LLMs (Open AI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, LLaMA, etc.)
✅ Use the AI-powered Theia IDE to generate full applications with a single prompt
✅ Leverage Theia Coder, the transparent, agentic coding assistant
✅ Review and apply AI-generated changes with full context and license checks
✅ Build and embed your own AI agents tailored to your workflows
✅ Connect your IDE to external systems (Git, Slack, Drive, etc.) using MCP
🛠️ **Theia AI** is an open framework that helps tool builders embed cutting-edge AI features directly into custom tools and domain-specific IDEs.
🚀 **Theia IDE** is the showcase: an AI-enhanced VS Code-compatible IDE you can download, extend, and self-host — no vendor lock-in.
Whether you're a developer, a company, or a tool vendor, this video shows you how to create your own flexible, future-proof AI tooling.
