Modiqo has wired its Rote capture-and-replay platform into nine AI coding environments, including Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Windsurf, Kimi and Visual Studio Code, with four releases shipping in the final week of August alone. The Rote tool records what an AI agent actually did during a successful run and compiles it into a deterministic, replayable Play — the vendor’s benchmark puts a replay at roughly 300 tokens against 14,900 for the original discovery run. This piece covers the multi-editor rollout, how capture and replay work, how Plays compare with prompts, skills and workflows, pricing from free to $799 a month, and the limits worth knowing before the Rote Playoffs hackathon stress-tests it all.

Modiqo has opened registration for the Rote Playoffs, a free, fully online AI hackathon run with the WeMakeDevs community. Entrants capture a repetitive workflow as a reusable “Play” on the Rote platform, publish it, and are judged on whether it runs, whether strangers trust it, and whether others adopt it. Registration closes 1 September 2026, the kickoff livestream is at 4pm UK the same day, and submissions close Sunday 7 September at 8pm London time. First place wins a MacBook Pro; this piece covers the dates, the prizes, the judging, Modiqo’s $3M backstory and how to prepare.
