Rapidly becoming the preferred tool for AI-assisted development.

  • Codebase chat — ask questions about your entire project
  • Composer — make changes across multiple files
  • Multi-model support (GPT-4o, Claude, Gemini)
  • All VS Code extensions work as-is
  • Agent mode for autonomous coding tasks

Pricing

  • Free (Hobby): 2,000 completions, 50 slow requests/month
  • Pro ($20/month): Unlimited completions, 500 fast requests
  • Business ($40/user/month): Team features, privacy mode
