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.

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/

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