Frequently asked questions

Is CodeLazr really free?

Yes. Every account gets a small monthly budget for any OpenRouter model, and after that you can keep coding with OpenRouter free models or your own API key for $0.

Do I need to install anything?

No. CodeLazr runs in your browser and edits your repos through the GitHub API, so there is nothing to install and nothing is cloned to your machine.

Does the AI push code without asking?

No. Every change is staged as a diff you review first. You choose to commit, open a pull request, or switch on auto-accept.

What happens when a free model is rate-limited or fails?

CodeLazr detects failed or empty replies and retries automatically with a fallback chain of other models, so a busy free model does not stall your task.

Is CodeLazr an alternative to Claude Code?

Yes, for many everyday tasks. It gives you a similar agentic edit-review-commit loop in the browser, but lets you use any OpenRouter model instead of a single paid provider.
