From AI IDE to the agent workspace, the Quest mode has been separated to make the development process smoother, and the team’s knowledge engine data also looks quite solid.

Alibaba releases Qoder 1.0, upgrading its positioning from an AI IDE to an autonomous agent development workspace. Quest mode becomes an independent window: after developers set goals, the intelligent agent takes over the full process. The new version supports parallel multi-project tasks across multiple code repositories within a unified panel, and upon completion it automatically generates a delivery checklist including documentation and code changes. It introduces a team-level knowledge engine to improve code retention by 11% and reduce dialogue rounds by 33%; it also introduces expert groups and customizable dedicated intelligent agent team.
