Code helpers
Exafunction
Free AI coding helper that lives inside your editor and writes code with you, line by line
Using Codeium is like having a patient coding buddy sitting next to you who's read every programming book ever written and quietly suggests what to type next — without charging you a dime.
Codeium is a free tool that plugs into the programs developers use to write code (like Visual Studio Code, JetBrains, and dozens of others). As you type, it suggests the next lines of code, explains what existing code does, and lets you chat with it to fix bugs or build new features. Think of it as autocomplete on steroids — except instead of finishing your sentence, it finishes your entire function. It's free for individual use, which makes it one of the most popular alternatives to paid options like GitHub Copilot.

Your coding sidekick that finishes your thoughts — write software faster with AI suggestions right inside your editor
