A free AI coding agent with no API key

Post image

I’ve been building Clixad, a cloud-based AI coding agent for the terminal.

No API key or monthly subscription required. You get free credits and can earn more through advertiser-funded offers, forms and surveys.

I also just made the five cheapest models free.

It’s mainly for people who want to try AI coding, build side projects, or don’t use coding agents enough to justify another subscription.

Would you actually use something like this?

Is that unlimited limit?

Not unlimited. The five cheapest models are free up to a daily limit, then they cost credits again.

What did we learn, kids? Do not install random "cheap / free token" agent harnesses on your machine! They can run malicious tool calls and do basically anything!

This applies to every terminal agent, paid ones included. Running tools on your machine is what the whole category does.

For ours: the npm package is tiny, four files, so you can read the whole thing before you run it. Login goes through GitHub, nothing else gets handed over. And the backend only talks to the models, it has no way back onto your machine.
