Cause the other agents piss me off.

GG Coder is a desktop coding agent that gets more out of the AI subscription you already pay for.

## Why GG Coder

- **More work per plan.** Fastest and leanest of 20 agents I raced on the same model. Claude Code used 169% more for the same work.
- **Real code, not guesses.** Agent Steroids searches real, current open-source code on your machine. No rate-limited MCP server, no limits.
- **Done means checked.** Ken Autopilot keeps the work going until it's actually verified.
- **Ship it properly, even as a beginner.** Coding is only part of it. One-click checks for security, compliance, data safety, accessibility, tests and more, plus a Project health score, so you don't need to know what to ask for.
- **Your subscriptions.** Claude, ChatGPT, Kimi Code, MiniMax and MiMo plans, any API key, or local models.

Table: one full race on 4 November 2026. 20 agents, each on a current stable release (GG Coder v0.102.0), 7 tasks, 5 runs each (700 runs), all on Claude Haiku 5.5 with the same thinking setting. Every agent got the same prompts and a fresh copy of the project each run, and ran bare, GG Coder included: its own built-in prompt and tools, with no skills, plugins, MCP servers or custom instructions. The tasks use small test projects plus one question about Vite's codebase (v8.3.5), so no agent works on its own code. A run counts only if hidden tests pass or the answer is correct.

## Also included

- **GG Goals:** hand over a whole goal; a team of workers sees it through.
- **Chat:** conversations that remember context.
- **GG Motion:** turns your ideas into videos.
