Deploy to NVIDIA Jetson, flash Arduino, SSH into a Pi, and check MISRA C — without leaving the editor. One 95 MB app, 7 AI providers, fully offline-capable. No account, no telemetry, free forever.
From edge AI on Jetson to Android apps, Arduino firmware, safety-critical MISRA C, web fullstack, and ML pipelines — six target platforms, one 95 MB IDE, zero context-switching. See the full breakdown with side-by-side comparisons, live demo videos, and a feature deep-dive.
Explore All Platforms →VS Code and Cursor are excellent general-purpose editors — but embedded work means hardware in the loop, and they treat it as an afterthought: an extension here, a workaround there. Operator X02 flips that. Arduino, Jetson, Pi, and Android are first-class citizens, native to the core — so deploying, flashing, and monitoring real devices feels like part of the editor, not a plugin bolted on top.

Most AI tools start every session from zero. Operator X02 remembers every decision, every fix, every reason — so the longer you work, the sharper it gets. 100% local, no token limits, no cloud.
AI-first from day one — not bolted on. Every feature is shaped around the embedded and edge AI workflow, from precise edits to hardware-aware context.
First-class support for the boards and devices embedded developers actually use — not extensions, built in.
X02 ships with a free built-in AI — start coding with no API key, no account. Add your own providers when you want more power, or run Ollama for 100% offline, air-gapped work.
