From LLM Chat to a Full-Fledged AI Agent: Step-by-Step OpenCode Setup

Arina, an analyst at Selectel, shares her experience in transforming LLM interactions from simple chat interfaces into a robust workspace using OpenCode. The author notes that standard chatbots are often limited by a lack of project context and access to local files. OpenCode acts as a wrapper that provides the model with access to documentation, APIs, and development tools, enabling the automation of routine tasks. The article details the process of configuring a workspace around an AI agent to improve the stability and quality of results. The author emphasizes that while OpenCode is primarily focused on software development, its capabilities are much broader, allowing for the integration of various MCP servers to solve practical problems. This approach helps turn AI from a simple assistant into a full-fledged participant in the workflow, capable of operating on specific user data and adhering to established team rules.
