Where people discuss it: Product Hunt ↗

The editor ships as a desktop application rather than a plugin, so the agent tooling sits in the IDE itself instead of a side panel. Fast Context searches a codebase quickly, Supercomplete predicts longer edits, and Spaces shares context between agents working on related tasks. Multiple models are supported through the Agent Client Protocol. Pricing runs from a free tier to Pro at $20 a month, Max at $200 a month, and Teams at $80 a month plus $40 per extra seat.
