this is really cool and well done. i will start using it in conjunction with Codeium's plugin (free Copilot alternative): https://github.com/Exafunction/codeium.vim

for transparency: I'm from the Codeium team, and we are big fans of getting this AI gen tech to all developers on all IDEs for free - we've also open sourced an emacs plugin: https://github.com/Exafunction/codeium.el

How are you supposed to use two plugins providing the same functionality? Are you gonna compare them and then uninstall one of them? Do they differ?

As far as I can tell, it seems like you just wanted to plug your own plugin, but I'm happy if I'm wrong. I just to understand how you can use two plugins that provide the same functionality and why you would do that.

they're complementary! codeium works like copilot, constantly autocompleting what you want to type next, which helps a lot when you already have a decent idea of what you need to get done and need to get it done faster. chatgpt (and chat interfaces in general) help you get some ideas on what to do when you are doing more open-ended exploration, and is explicitly invoked. as developers, we all code in these different "modes" and different tools can be built for each!

HN encurage you to mention your own products when relevant, so you don't have to wrap it in, just put it bluntly.
