It supports chatbot initialization through the Connector browser extension and offers API tools for code completions, editing context, intelligent updates, and commit messages. Users can handle AI responses, code completions, and version control through various commands. The tool is privacy-focused, operates locally, and supports any OpenAI-API compatible provider for its utilities.
