Designed for your IDE

Your project and Nella, in the same window.

  • A Nella tool window

    Ask your questions right of the editor: answers stream as they are written.

  • Actions on your code

    Right-click, Nella: explain, improve, write tests, or fix the errors and warnings of the file.

  • Code blocks you can use

    Insert at cursor, replace selection, new file or copy: every block goes straight into your project.

  • Your commit messages

    In the Commit tool window, the Nella button writes the message from the changes selected for commit.

The same everywhere

Everything Nella does, here too.

The same account, the same conversations and the same plan on all your devices: what you start on one continues on the other.

  • Chat and write

    Emails, letters, summaries, outlines: describe what you need and Nella writes it in your language.

  • Build websites and apps

    Nella writes the code and shows the result live, in an isolated frame. Included in every plan, starting with a Free account.

  • Web search with sources

    For news and recent facts, Nella searches the web and cites its sources.

  • Files and photos

    Attach a document or a photo: Nella reads it, summarizes it or answers your questions about it.

  • Memory

    Your name, your work, your preferences: Nella remembers them from one conversation to the next.

  • Projects

    Group the conversations about one topic so you can pick up each piece of work where you left it.

  • Dictation and read aloud

    Speak instead of typing, and have answers read aloud.

  • Six languages

    English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German and Arabic, with a right-to-left layout in Arabic.

  • Guest mode, no account
  • One account on all your devices
  • No ads
  • Mandatory security updates
