About
Building the orchestration layer forAI-native development.
AI tools are brilliant in isolation and exhausting together. We're building one IDE where they work as a team — with you in charge.

Our story
Built in Pakistan. Built for the world's builders.
Nexora started in early 2026 at COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, with a simple frustration: AI could write the code, but shipping a product still meant juggling five tools, a dozen keys and a lot of blind trust.
So we forked VS Code and built what we wanted — an IDE that plans the whole job, tells you what it will cost, asks before it touches anything real, and remembers why decisions were made. Twenty weeks later we froze v1.0 with 621 automated tests behind it.
We're a small, self-funded team in Lahore. We think world-class developer tools can come from anywhere — and that the next wave of builders deserves an IDE that finishes the job.
What we believe
Principles we build by.
Humans approve, agents execute
Autonomy is earned step by step. Nothing live happens in Nexora without a person saying yes.
No black boxes
You see the plan, the platform and the price before anything runs — and the full log after.
Open protocols
MCP, OAuth and plain REST. Nexora works with the tools you have instead of replacing them.
Honest by default
We publish what we've measured and what we haven't. Claims follow evidence, never the other way round.
