An open-source AI code assistant extension for VS Code and JetBrains that connects to any LLM — including local models through Ollama — for autocomplete, inline edits, and chat.

Why it is useful

The open-source alternative to GitHub Copilot that lets you bring your own model. Connecting it to a local Ollama instance gives you AI code completion with no API costs and no data leaving your machine — important for proprietary codebases. Supports slash commands, context from your codebase, and custom prompts, making it more configurable than most commercial tools.
