AI Code Assistants: Blurring the Lines Between Categories
December 2024 · 2 minute readFor long, AI Coding tools have naturally split into specialized roles to solve different developer needs, Inline assistants for real-time suggestions and Multi-file editors for broader changes.

These assistants are like pair programmers who peek over your shoulder, helping you craft code line by line.

Codeium has followed suit for inline edits, with their Windsurf editor earning praise for multi-file edit capabilities.
