Features

Objectiv (AZO) is the developer workbench: a serious editor, multi-root workspace, curated marketplace, and the Objective agent. Community is free; Enterprise adds licensed on-behalf chat, mail, and meetings.

Objective agent

The agent lives in the activity bar and shares the same harness as A-Zing coding-agent tooling—file search, patches, terminal, Git, and labeled accept/reject on trajectories.

Approve before apply

Every file change is a reviewable diff. Reject, ask for a revision, or accept and run tests in the same window.

Local tool use

Objective runs commands with your user credentials—search, build, test, docker—never silently bypassing your shell policies.

Streaming & cancel

Watch the plan unfold in real time and stop mid-turn when the model drifts. Coding sharpness is a primary product track.

YouRefactor MailList into MailListItem and keep API types in sync.
ObjectiveFound 6 call sites, extracted component, updated tests — 184 passing. Patch ready for your review.

Workspace & shell

Objectiv is a Tauri 2 desktop app on macOS, Windows, and Linux—fast native shell, web-tech UI, offline-friendly local projects.

Multi-folder layout

Add, remove, and reorder workspace roots. Each root can expose its own terminal session and Git view.

Terminal pop-out

Dock the shell beside code or pop terminals into separate windows for long-running servers and agent-driven commands.

Built-in browser

Load dev servers inside the workbench for quick visual checks while Objective edits frontend code.

Settings & keybindings

Command palette, user settings JSON, and product-specific keys such as objectiv.agent.approveBeforeApply.

Editor at the core

Monaco drives editing with LSP-backed intelligence, multi-cursor editing, minimap, and language-specific tooling. Notebooks support exploratory data and docs workflows.

  • Syntax highlighting & bracket pairs
  • Problems panel & diagnostics
  • Format on save (via marketplace config packs)
  • Appearance: themes and accent from catalog
settings.json
{
  "editor.fontFamily": "JetBrains Mono",
  "editor.formatOnSave": true,
  "objectiv.agent.approveBeforeApply": true
}

Models & inference

Choose where inference runs—your laptop, your VPC, or a hosted API.

Ollama & local

Keep code and prompts on-device for air-gapped or regulated environments.

BYOK endpoints

Any OpenAI-compatible gateway; rotate keys in Settings without rebuilding the app.

Enterprise policy

Seat licenses gate comms tools; future releases will bind model allowlists to JWT claims.

Curated marketplace

The Objectiv catalog lists themes, snippet packs, and editor config—not arbitrary VS Code extensions. Community installs a subset; Enterprise unlocks the full catalog.

Extension kinds

  • theme — workbench colors and CSS variables
  • snippets — language-specific templates
  • config — shared Prettier, Python, or remote-dev defaults

Catalog URL

Clients default to https://marketplace.project-objectiv.com/catalog.json. Override in Settings → Objective → Marketplace or via build-time env vars documented on the docs overview.

Chat, mail & meetings

You configure the providers your organization uses. The agent never sends on a channel you have not connected—and Enterprise license checks apply before on-behalf actions.

ChannelCommunityEnterprise
Slack — browse & historyYes (your token)Yes
Chat — agent draft / sendNoTeams, Slack, Mattermost, Google Chat
Mail — IMAP / POPNoConfigurable mailbox; draft/send with approval
MeetingsNoZoom, Teams, Slack calls, Google Meet

Comms tools follow the same approve gate as code patches. Sidecar enforcement rejects unlicensed on-behalf calls even if UI is visible in a dev build.

Notifications & inbox

Settings → Integrations → Notifications control which events surface while you code.
