Adds a new **Enable Coder Agents** section to the Early Access doc explaining how to activate the `agents` experiment flag via `CODER_EXPERIMENTS` or `--experiments`. ## Changes ### `docs/ai-coder/agents/early-access.md` - New **Enable Coder Agents** section with env var and CLI flag examples. - Note that the `agents` flag is excluded from wildcard (`*`) opt-in. - Quick-start checklist: dashboard → Admin → configure provider/model → start chatting. - Link to GitHub issues for feedback. ### `docs/ai-coder/agents/index.md` - Updated **Product status** from "internal preview" to "Early Access" with a link to the early-access page for enablement instructions.

# Early Access
|
|
|
|
Coder Agents is available through Early Access for the community
|
|
to evaluate while the product is under active development.
|
|
Participation comes with important expectations and limitations described
|
|
below.
|
|
|
|
## What Early Access includes
|
|
|
|
Early Access is a collaborative evaluation period between Coder and
|
|
participating customers. It includes:
|
|
|
|
- **Direct collaboration with the Coder product team** — work with Coder
|
|
engineers and product managers to share feedback, discuss use cases, and
|
|
influence product direction.
|
|
- **Architecture and functionality documentation** — basic documentation
|
|
covering how Coder Agents works and how it integrates into existing
|
|
deployments.
|
|
- **Feedback sessions** — periodic check-ins with the Coder team to discuss
|
|
real-world usage.
|
|
- **Early exposure to new capabilities** — access to new features or
|
|
experimental functionality before public release.
|
|
|
|
## What Early Access does not include
|
|
|
|
Early Access is not a production-ready offering. It does not include:
|
|
|
|
- **Formal support coverage** — no SLA-backed support.
|
|
- **Stability guarantees** — features and behavior may change without notice.
|
|
- **Production readiness guarantees** — functionality may not yet meet the
|
|
reliability or scalability expectations of a GA feature.
|
|
- **Complete documentation or tooling** — operational guidance may be
|
|
incomplete and will evolve.
|
|
- **Long-term compatibility guarantees** — APIs, configuration models, or
|
|
workflows may change before General Availability.
|
|
|
|
## Feature scope
|
|
|
|
Functionality available during Early Access may be a subset of planned
|
|
capabilities. Some features may be incomplete, experimental, or subject to
|
|
redesign.
|
|
|
|
## Enable Coder Agents
|
|
|
|
Coder Agents is experimental and must not be deployed to production
|
|
environments. It is gated behind the `agents` experiment flag. To enable it,
|
|
pass the flag when starting the Coder server using an environment variable
|
|
or CLI flag:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
CODER_EXPERIMENTS="agents" coder server
|
|
# or
|
|
coder server --experiments=agents
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you are already using other experiments, add `agents` to the
|
|
comma-separated list:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
CODER_EXPERIMENTS="agents,oauth2,mcp-server-http" coder server
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Once the server restarts with the experiment enabled:
|
|
|
|
1. Navigate to the **Agents** page in the Coder dashboard.
|
|
1. Open **Admin** settings and configure at least one LLM provider and model.
|
|
See [Models](./models.md) for detailed setup instructions.
|
|
1. Developers can then start a new chat from the Agents page.
|
|
|
|
## Licensing and availability
|
|
|
|
Features provided during Early Access may become paid licensed
|
|
features at General Availability.
|
|
Participants will receive reasonable advance notice before:
|
|
|
|
- Coder Agents reaches General Availability
|
|
- Early Access functionality transitions to a paid offering
|
|
|
|
## Providing feedback
|
|
|
|
Participants are encouraged to share workflow feedback, feature requests,
|
|
performance observations, and operational challenges. Feedback channels are
|
|
coordinated directly with the Coder product team.
