Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as an AI coding plugin?

An AI coding plugin is a software extension that adds AI-powered capabilities to an existing development environment. This includes VS Code extensions, JetBrains plugins, browser-based tools, and cloud integrations that enhance your coding workflow with AI assistance.

How are plugins different from standalone AI tools?

Plugins extend an existing environment (your IDE, browser, or CI pipeline). Standalone tools like Cursor or Windsurf are complete environments built around AI from the ground up. Some tools blur this line — for example, Continue.dev is a plugin that adds Cursor-like features to VS Code.
