What about support for the new DeepSeek? Is there a possibility to use local running models?

Open up the desired chat and then run this in your console:
// Extract chat ID from URL
let url = new URL(window.location.href);
let chatId = decodeURIComponent(url.searchParams.get('chat-id'));
console.log('Chat ID:', chatId);
// Find tidewave database and read from IndexedDB
indexedDB.databases().then(databases => {
let tidewaveDb = databases.find(db => db.name.startsWith('tidewave:'));
let request = indexedDB.open(tidewaveDb.name);
request.onsuccess = function(event) {
const db = event.target.result;
const transaction = db.transaction(['chatMessages'], 'readonly');
const store = transaction.objectStore('chatMessages');
const getRequest = store.get(chatId);
getRequest.onsuccess = function(event) {
const result = event.target.result;
console.log('Chat data:', result);
};
};
});
Once you run it, you will see something called “Chat data” logged as JSON. You can copy it to a Gist and share it with us.

If you have GitHub Copilot pro and enable gpt-5-mini in your Copilot settings then you have that unlimited in theory and should match or be better than Sonnet 4.
Tidewave and gpt-5-mini combo works very well.

I first tried Tidewave in July and it felt like magic. I quickly subscribed to Pro Claude – it opened my eyes to AI’s potential.
Recently I wanted to set up Tidewave for another project and noticed that the website and docs now mainly guide users toward the paid browser version. If I didn’t already know Tidewave, I’d assume that’s the only way to use it.
I admire the Elixir team and Jose for creating something amazing. But this change feels a bit like something from a big-corp playbook. It made me wonder: why not keep both paths visible? Support those who want the convenience of the browser and those who want to integrate Tidewave into their usual engineering workflow.
Tidewave inspired me to rethink my dev process – I’d just do not like to see its open spirit obscured.
Thanks for all the work you do, and for the Elixir ecosystem.

I cannot imagine how it could be designed better than already existing VCS + Auto-run. There is next to zero chance the interrupted in the middle agent would leave somewhat meaningful on the table. I did not try tidewave myself (because I am not working with web/phoenix, not because I doubt it’s amazing,) but the only fine-tuning setting really valuable would be “Ask when reaching out to modify stuff beyond this project” in Auto-run mode.
When I am after some massive change, I ask the buddy to start in a new branch. If it’s about tiny changes, main works. If something goes south, I always have git checkout.

Tidewave’s ability to work with running systems puts it squarely in the realm of dynamic data, including quantitative, relational, and temporal information. This makes me curious about the status and prospects for database integration. For example, various options for managing runtime data are intriguing:
- Relational database (e.g., Ecto / PostgreSQL)
- Graph database (e.g., ArangoDB, Neo4j)
- Time series database (e.g., Prometheus / OpenTelemetry)
One way to approach this would be to set up each database of interest as an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. FWIW, I had a chat with Google’s AI mode about this. It said:
Providing Tidewave with a graph database as an MCP server offers significant benefits by leveraging the database’s ability to model and traverse interconnected data structures. However, this setup also introduces complexities related to security, performance, and data modeling. The potential advantages are most pronounced for applications with complex, evolving relationships, which Tidewave can then use to generate more accurate and context-aware code.
Comments? Clues?

Thanks for the update, @josevalim! Tell the team nice work; it’s super simple to scan through the perms and setup

I really haven’t been using much of the AI stuff in my development. So what does Tidewave Web help me with as a developer?

It can help with most of the things at this point.
For example I just told it to find if we are missing some log_user_action calls in our codebase at places where we change data and it found the places we do and filled in the missing log_user_action calls.
