have you tried codeium? it's pretty good for a free tool, it also does RAG against your whole project

yes i'd second deepseek-coder and check out wingman. it's a relatively new extension, snappy and with good ux.

ive always wanted this. im going to give it a go!does this happen to support IDE like vscode?

cursor works well - uses RAG on your code to give context, can directly reference latest docs of whatever you're usingnot perfect but good to incrementally build things/find bugs

Code editor. Imagine VSCode, but with a native GUI for each platform it supports and fewer plugins. And a single `disable_ai` setting that you can use to toggle those kinds of features off or on.
