Introduction
What is CodeGate?
CodeGate is a local prompt gateway that sits between your AI coding assistant and LLM to enhance privacy and security. CodeGate performs code security reviews, identifies vulnerabilities in package dependencies, and prevents sensitive data like secrets from being shared with AI models.
Key features
CodeGate includes several key features for privacy, security, and coding efficiency, including:
- Secrets encryption to protect your sensitive credentials
- Dependency risk awareness to update the LLM's knowledge of malicious or deprecated open source packages
- Model muxing to quickly select the best LLM provider/model for your current task
- Workspaces to organize and customize your LLM interactions
