Meet Helix 1.0 & 2.0 — coding models that match the frontier on quality and beat it on speed and cost. Our build engine spends up to 10× fewer tokens, so every app ships for cents, not dollars.
Every Helix task moves through the same six stages — each one automated, observable, and reversible.
Each agent owns one job and confirms its work before the next begins — the way a senior team ships.
Connect a repo and Helix indexes every file, understands how it fits together, and retrieves the right context for each request.
Helix builds, tests, scans, and deploys to a real edge runtime, then watches it in production.
Turn a single prompt into a cinematic clip — product demos, hero loops, social cuts. Generated right in Helix, white-labeled, yours to download. Included with every premium plan.
Helix 1.0 & 2.0 match the best coding models — then our engine makes them faster and up to 10× cheaper per build. Plus everything the copilots still can't do: plan, review, secure, and ship the whole change.

“It felt like adding five senior engineers overnight. The review pipeline caught a race condition I would have shipped.”
“The intent ledger is the killer feature. I can finally answer 'why does this line exist?' six months later.”
“We went from prototype to a deployed dashboard in an afternoon — security scan and all.”
“Helix reads our monorepo better than half the team. Onboarding new features got dramatically faster.”
“The undo-an-idea flow saved a release. We pulled a feature cleanly without unpicking three days of work.”
“It's the first AI tool that feels like a real workspace instead of a chat box bolted onto my editor.”
