GroutCode
The academic AI coding studio
A real IDE with an AI agent — Monaco editor, Git and a terminal — plus 378 stepped lab practicals, live today for six university and board syllabuses and ready to be mapped to yours. The compiler decides whether your code passes; the AI reviews it afterwards. Included in every Grout Suite subscription.
Start fast — open a project or create something new.
Coding education, reimagined
GroutCode is an academic-grade coding studio built on the same shape as Cursor — agent, editor, Git, terminal and diff review in one desktop workspace — with the syllabus, the lab practicals and the student guardrails built in.
| Traditional coding class | GroutCode |
|---|---|
| Traditional coding classTraditional class: One lab sheet, one verdict at the end | GroutCodeWith GroutCode: 8–15 stepped checks, so you see which change broke what |
| Traditional coding classTraditional class: Hours lost to a compile error nobody explains | GroutCodeWith GroutCode: The agent reads the error and works the fix through with you |
| Traditional coding classTraditional class: A generic exercise unrelated to your scheme | GroutCodeWith GroutCode: Lessons mapped to your actual KTU, VTU, CBSE or ICSE course code |
| Traditional coding classTraditional class: Passive lectures and textbooks | GroutCodeWith GroutCode: Build and run real programs from lesson one |
| Traditional coding classTraditional class: Teacher marks every submission by hand | GroutCodeWith GroutCode: The toolchain checks it; the teacher reviews what matters |
Everything you need to learn modern coding
From a first-year lab practical to an agent working across your own repository — one workspace, with the compiler still in charge of the verdict.
Agent-first workspace
Four Composer modes — Agent, Plan, Ask and Debug — with every tool call streamed as it happens and an approval gate before anything runs on your machine.
Compiler-checked lab practicals
378 stepped lessons, live for six university and board syllabuses so far — and more can be added. You write the code, a real toolchain decides whether it passes, and the AI reviews your implementation afterwards.
Six real languages
C, C++, Java, Python, Node.js and SQL — the languages your course actually uses, set per course code rather than guessed from the title.
A real IDE, not a sandbox
Monaco with multi-tab editing and diff review, Git status and commits, and an embedded terminal. The transition to a professional setup is a change of logo, not of skill.
Your keys, your machine
Bring your own Anthropic, OpenAI or Gemini key, or point it at a local Ollama server. Threads, settings and plan documents stay as files on your disk.
Part of the Grout Suite
GroutCode comes with every Grout Suite subscription, alongside GroutApp and GroutFilm. One license covers all three.
The real screens, feature by feature
Lab practicals for your own syllabus, AI that can run on the lab machine, and an agent you stay in control of.
Lab practicals for your syllabus
Pick your university or board, your semester and your course code, and work through stepped lessons with a starter file and real tests. KTU, VTU, Calicut, CHRIST, CBSE and ICSE are live today, and your institution’s syllabus can be added.

Run a coding model on the laptop
Choose a model in Local AI and GroutCode downloads it and runs it on the machine, then adds it to the agent picker. Small models run on 4–8 GB laptops with no graphics card, so practice keeps going when the lab Wi-Fi does not.
- Qwen3.5
- Gemma 4
- Llama 3.2
- SmolLM3
- Your own GGUF
An agent you can watch and approve
Start a project from one sentence, then work in Agent, Plan, Ask or Debug mode. Every tool call is shown as it runs, commands wait for your approval, and MCP servers, skills and plugins add the tools your project needs.
- Agent
- Plan
- Ask
- Debug
- MCP
- Git
- Terminal
One app, built for learning
For students
- Lab practicals mapped to your own KTU, VTU, Calicut, CHRIST, Joy, CBSE or ICSE course code
- Stepped checks so you learn which change broke what
- The AI reviews your code and names the input that breaks it
- A real editor, Git and terminal — the tools you will use after graduating
For teachers
- Assign lab work that a compiler verifies, not a model
- Real-time visibility into every student’s progress
- The AI cannot hand a student the submission — it reviews after the tests pass
- 738 courses transcribed from the official schemes
For schools
- Volume licensing for every student and teacher
- Runs on existing school lab computers
- Dedicated onboarding and training for staff
- One Grout Suite subscription covers all three apps

The lab curriculum and the agent each have their own page, with the workflow, the limits and the questions people actually ask.
Lab practicals
378 stepped, compiler-checked lessons across six university and board syllabuses.
The coding agent
Agent, Plan, Ask and Debug modes, Team orchestration, MCP, Git and a real terminal.
GroutCode vs Cursor

VTU 2022 scheme
105 lab lessons across 157 transcribed courses for B.E. CSE, ISE, AI-ML and ECE.
CBSE & ICSE
Computer Science 083, Informatics Practices 065, and the CISCE Java syllabus.
