GAIA Code

GAIA Code is an AI coding agent for Perplexity users that integrates Claude Code's engineering workflow into a Perplexity Space. It provides persistent memory, a plan engine, context-budgeted turns, GitHub MCP, and a slash-command skill engine. GAIA can read repos, create branches, push commits, open PRs, and manage issues directly within a Perplexity conversation. By default, GAIA pauses for approval before any tool call that changes external state—commits, pushes, PRs, issues, or merges. You can toggle permission modes with /ask-permissions, /accept-edits, and /dangerously-skip-permissions, and the choice is saved to memory. Before every push, GAIA re-reads generated code to catch errors a build would catch, since the sandbox can't compile. It also adapts external, non-ported skills to the tools it actually has.
