Create your DigitalOcean Gradient Inference Key

<h1 id="opencode-1-click-application">OpenCode 1-Click Application</h1>
<p>Deploy OpenCode, an open-source AI coding agent that runs in your terminal, pre-configured to use DigitalOcean Gradient AI for inference. Use natural language to write, debug, and refactor code. Code and context stay local by default.</p>
<h2 id="what-is-opencode">What is OpenCode?</h2>
<p>OpenCode brings AI assistance into the command line. It&#39;s a terminal-based coding agent pre-configured with DigitalOcean Gradient AI, giving you access to Llama 3.3 70B, Qwen3, DeepSeek, and more using a single Gradient model access key.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Terminal-first</strong> – Works natively in your shell, no web interface required</li>
<li><strong>DigitalOcean Gradient AI</strong> – Pre-configured with open-source models via Gradient inference</li>
<li><strong>Multiple sessions</strong> – Run multiple agents for different tasks</li>
<li><strong>File references</strong> – Use <code>@filename</code> to include files in context</li>
<li><strong>Shell commands</strong> – Execute commands with <code>!</code> prefix</li>
<li><strong>Slash commands</strong> – <code>/init</code>, <code>/connect</code>, <code>/share</code> and more</li>
<li><strong>Privacy-focused</strong> – Code stays on your server by default</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="key-features">Key Features</h2>
<ul>
<li>Natural language coding assistance in the terminal</li>
<li>Pre-configured with DigitalOcean Gradient AI (Claude, GPT, DeepSeek, Llama, and more)</li>
<li>Works with existing projects—navigate, edit, and run code</li>
<li>No IDE required—pure terminal workflow</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="system-requirements">System Requirements</h2>
