Show HN: Refact – AI code assistant with autocomplete, AI Chat and code editing

Refact is a Copilot alternative that has an autocomplete, integrated AI chat and powerful editing. We use our own models that are fine-tuned for each language, they are smaller than the one in Copilot, but are very powerful for their size. On certain tasks, you will not notice much difference: the model look up and down, and the context window is the same.

Try it for free for JetBrains and VS Code.

You never store the code, period? Or just never store the folders/files ignored by Refact?

We never store the code. Your code is only used for inference on our servers, not for learning. And in the case of self-host it never leaves your premises.

I use both from time to time, Copilot surprises with a very good guess maybe twice as often as Refact. (that is subjectively, an opinion) But both help equally well with mechanical work. Hope that helps!

Very nice that this is a plugin for VSCode or IntelliJ. I recently tried the Cursor app but it’s a stand-alone app not a plugin:

You can also self-host it using docker https://refact.ai/docker/
