Evolve AI
Evolve AI is delivered in two editions. The Free Community Edition is published on the VS Code Marketplace under an MIT licence for individual developer productivity — offering multi-provider AI chat (Claude, Gemini, Ollama, Gemma 4) and delivery stages 1 through 4 (live database introspection, schema mapping, client SDK generation, and handoff runbooks). The Enterprise Edition (currently in an exclusive Limited Pilot with 5 selected enterprise partners) is distributed as a zero-installation standalone portable desktop application (.exe) engineered for corporate engineering teams, banks, and air-gapped enclaves: unlocking Phase 5 Enterprise Suite (automated Oracle/T-SQL to Snowflake/BigQuery transpiler, automated Row-Level Security, Reverse ETL workers, synthetic data, mock servers), Phase 6 DevOps & Cloud Hub (Terraform HCL, GPU Kubernetes, Docker Compose, CI/CD workflows), automated PII sanitization, SIEM audit forwarding, Ed25519 hardware-bound offline licensing, and commercial SLA support.

Why Forward-Deployed & Corporate Teams Buy the Desktop App
The Free Community Edition provides an incredible workbench for everyday coding. Organizations invest in the Enterprise Desktop Edition when they need immediate return on investment for high-stakes enterprise projects:
1. Instant Zero-Admin Deployment
Bypasses lengthy IT procurement for IDE plugins. Standalone single executable (.exe) runs immediately in secure client environments without admin rights or registry changes.
2. Banking & Air-Gapped Security
100% offline Ed25519 cryptographic licensing bound to machine hardware. Zero telemetry and zero cloud dependencies guarantee complete data sovereignty.
3. Hundreds of Migration Hours Saved
Phase 5 automated SQL transpiler converts decades of legacy Oracle PL/SQL and SQL Server T-SQL directly into Snowflake and BigQuery dbt models with tests.
4. Turnkey DevOps & Handover
Generates production-grade Terraform HCL, Kubernetes manifests, and CI/CD pipelines, plus client handover runbooks and architecture diagrams in minutes.
About Evolve AI.
What is Evolve AI?
Evolve AI is a dual-edition Forward-Deployed Engineers (FDE) delivery studio and AI coding assistant built by Evolve Mind Solutions. It is available as a Free Community Edition on the VS Code Marketplace (MIT licence), and as a Paid Enterprise Edition distributed as a standalone portable desktop executable (.exe). It provides live database introspection, automated dbt/PySpark model generation, typed TypeScript/Python client SDK scaffolding, and automated client handover runbooks.
Is Evolve AI free?
The VS Code extension on the Marketplace is completely free to use under the MIT licence as the Community Edition. It includes core AI chat across 9 providers, local models (Ollama, Gemma 4), and FDE delivery stages 1 through 4. For enterprise engineering teams needing zero-install standalone executables, automated Oracle/T-SQL transpilation, Row-Level Security generation, Reverse ETL workers, Multi-Cloud DevOps scaffolding (Terraform, Kubernetes, CI/CD), PII sanitization, SIEM audit logging, and hardware-bound Ed25519 offline licensing, we offer the paid Evolve AI Enterprise Edition (available as a standalone desktop app or corporate site license).
What is the difference between the Free Community Edition and Paid Enterprise Edition?
The Free Community Edition provides the core VS Code extension with AI chat across 9 providers, 18 workspace plugins, and FDE Stages 1–4 (DB Introspection, Schema Mapping, Client SDK, Runbook Docs). The Paid Enterprise Edition adds: (1) Zero-installation standalone portable desktop app (.exe) requiring no VS Code or admin rights; (2) Phase 5 Enterprise Suite with automated Oracle and T-SQL to Snowflake/BigQuery transpiler, automated Row-Level Security (RLS) generator, Reverse ETL sync workers, and synthetic data generator; (3) Phase 6 DevOps Hub with multi-cloud Terraform HCL, GPU Kubernetes manifests, Docker Compose, and CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps); (4) Enterprise compliance with PII sanitization, SIEM audit forwarding (Splunk, Datadog, Sentinel), and Great Expectations/Soda Core data quality drift gates; (5) Databricks Lakehouse Unity Catalog lineage and query cost analysis; and (6) 100% air-gapped Ed25519 hardware-bound cryptographic licensing with priority commercial SLA support.
Why should our company purchase the Standalone Desktop Edition?
Corporate data teams, banks, and consultancies choose the Standalone Desktop Edition because: (1) Zero IT friction: runs as a self-contained portable .exe without requiring administrator rights, VS Code installation, or third-party extensions; (2) Air-gapped compliance: 100% offline Ed25519 cryptographic licensing with zero telemetry and zero external phone-home calls, complying with strict banking data sovereignty; (3) Massive migration ROI: automated transpilation from legacy Oracle and SQL Server to modern Snowflake and BigQuery saves hundreds of engineering hours per project; (4) Complete delivery lifecycle: scaffolds everything from infrastructure (Terraform/Kubernetes) to security (RLS/PII masking) to client runbooks in minutes; and (5) Dedicated commercial support with priority SLAs and custom dialect templates.
Which AI providers does Evolve AI support?
Nine. In the cloud: Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, OpenAI and OpenAI-compatible services (including Groq, Mistral, Together AI and LM Studio), GLM from Z.ai, and the Hugging Face Inference API. Running locally on your own hardware: Ollama, Google's Gemma 4, GLM/CodeGeeX, and Colibri. Enterprise Edition additionally supports private, on-premise model serving endpoints (vLLM, Triton Inference Server, Hugging Face TGI).
Can Evolve AI run without sending my code anywhere?
Yes, and this is a foundational design principle. Run it against Ollama, Gemma 4, CodeGeeX or Colibri and your code never leaves your machine. There is also an air-gapped mode with a strict network blocker, and a Zero-AI Offline Suite — SQL formatter, dataset profiler, dbt test generator, Cron and Regex workbench, Terraform and Docker security linters — that involves no model at all. In Enterprise Desktop Edition, cryptographic licensing is validated entirely offline using Ed25519 signatures, ensuring 100% data sovereignty.
What is the Forward-Deployed Engineers Delivery Studio?
It is an end-to-end delivery framework for engineers deploying data and AI solutions inside client environments. Stages 1–4 (available in Free Community and Enterprise) cover live DB introspection, foreign schema mapping to dbt, typed client SDK generation, and client handoff documentation. Stages 5 & 6 (exclusive to Paid Enterprise) add automated SQL transpilation (Oracle/T-SQL to Snowflake/BigQuery), automated Row-Level Security, Reverse ETL sync workers, and multi-cloud DevOps scaffolding (Terraform, Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD).
Which data and cloud platforms does Evolve AI understand?
Eighteen plugins activate automatically from the files in your workspace, with no configuration. For data: dbt, Apache Airflow, Databricks with Unity Catalog, Jupyter, PyTorch and a data analysis and reporting plugin that builds charts and HTML reports from CSV, Excel and Parquet. For cloud: AWS, Google Cloud and Azure plugins that connect to your real accounts to list resources, run queries, browse storage and diagnose failed jobs. For infrastructure and application code: Terraform, Kubernetes, Docker, Django, FastAPI, pytest, Git and a security scanner.
Does Evolve AI work in Cursor or VSCodium?
Yes. The Free Community Edition requires VS Code 1.85 or later and works in VS Code and its forks, including Cursor and VSCodium. If your organisation restricts IDE extensions or developer environments, the Paid Enterprise Standalone Desktop Edition runs completely independently as a portable Windows application.
Where can I download the standalone desktop application?
A zero-installation portable desktop executable (v2.20.0 for Windows x64) is available directly from our dedicated download page at /products/evolve-ai/download/. It runs directly without requiring admin rights and includes Ed25519 offline license validation, an integrated terminal, workspace explorer, and full air-gapped security.
How does enterprise commercial licensing work?
The Enterprise Edition uses Ed25519 asymmetric cryptographic signatures tied to machine hardware fingerprints or organization seats. Licenses can be generated and renewed 100% offline without network calls. You can request a quote directly through our contact page or via the in-app Procurement Request Generator in the desktop app.
