I came across this new IDE plugin recently. I haven’t seen it mentioned before (it’s fairly new) but it looks quite promising. It’s a once-off cost for the tool (with 1 year of updates). A bit on the expensive side if you are using it personally (€299) but seems reasonable for commercial use (and is slightly cheaper per seat as it starts at 2 seats). You also need to pay for your own AI platform API subscription with Anthropic/OpenAI/Google etc for the models that you want to use, or use a local/free model, because the LLM requests go direct to the model provider, not through chucki servers.
The features look good: code completion, code snippet suggestions, chat with IDE integration (direct code and DFM changes - UI changes appear in the form designer), automate some IDE functions (they demo auto running the app once code changes are complete). Looks like it supports MCP servers (integration with other systems or functionality which opens up the possibility of some interesting extensions).
There is a world of additional features that could be added but hopefully they have some success and have a good roadmap. Other agentic coding tools such as Windsurf and Cursor are quite ahead but it is a start. e.g. inspect compiler output and auto fix issues, see unit test results, sub-agents, planning mode, use the editor’s built in diff functionality, git integration, …
