From Short Videos to Source Code
You probably know Kuaishou as the short-video giant behind endless scrolling entertainment. But now, it wants to talk about code.
Yes — Kuaishou has quietly entered the world of AI programming with its upcoming IDE, CodeFlicker. And if the name sounds poetic, that’s because it is: “Code” meets “Flicker,” a nod to both coding brilliance and Kuaishou’s creative DNA.
Official Preview Video
The teaser video hints at a sleek interface, dual AI agents, and a vision that feels almost like Cursor — but with a distinctly Kuaishou flavor.
Meet CodeFlicker — The Curious Newcomer
If IDEs were people, CodeFlicker would be the bright newcomer — curious, capable, and eager to learn your habits.
It’s an AI-driven programming environment that understands your entire codebase through natural language. From generating snippets to debugging and refactoring, it feels designed to anticipate what you’re about to do next.
Rules That Follow You
At the heart of CodeFlicker lies its rule engine — a system that learns your preferences and adapts to each workspace.
You can create Personal Rules to match your tone or formatting style, or define Project Rules under .codeflicker/rules/*.mdr to ensure the whole team writes code with a unified structure.
Two AI Companions: Jam and Duet
CodeFlicker doesn’t just suggest code — it collaborates.
Jam is the “doer”: it searches files, edits code, and executes commands to complete full tasks.
Duet is the “thinker”: it brainstorms, discusses architecture, and plans the logic before any line is written. Think of Jam as your coding autopilot and Duet as your quiet but insightful co-pilot.
Figma to Code — Turning Designs into Reality
CodeFlicker also speaks the language of design. When connected to Figma, it can turn mockups directly into functional front-end layouts — more accurate than traditional conversions, and surprisingly fast.
Competing in a Crowded Arena
Cursor, Claude Code, and Trae are already competing for developers’ trust. But Kuaishou’s move signals something deeper — that the future of AI development isn’t just in startups or labs, but in the hands of massive content ecosystems that already understand creativity and user flow.
A Bright Future Ahead
It’s still early days, but CodeFlicker feels like more than a side project. It’s Kuaishou’s statement that AI coding is no longer just for coders — it’s for anyone with an idea and the curiosity to build.
