• Context-aware code completion and auto-complete suggestions in real time.
• Chat and code-review assistance to explain code, suggest fixes, or generate snippets.
• Support across multiple IDEs and editors (Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Neovim, etc.) and command-line usage.
• Support for many programming languages with good coverage in popular languages.
• Different usage modes: completions, chat, agent mode, CLI adapting to different workflows.
• Plans for individual developers and organizations (teams, enterprises), with tiered features and request/completion limits.

Pros

• Speeds up coding by reducing boilerplate and providing smart suggestions.
• Helpful for learning new languages or libraries gets you working faster with minimal friction.
