Magnet is an expert AI coding assistant designed to streamline and enhance the software development process. It is a contextual AI tool that works alongside other dev tools to provide context-specific suggestions and recommendations.
The tool uses OpenAI’s API key, including both GPT-3.5 and GPT-4, to provide powerful code suggestions. The AI companion is designed to act as a thought-partner and a super-charged coding assistant that implements features end-to-end.
Magnet solves the UX challenge of providing multi-file coding context effortlessly by allowing developers to select multiple relevant files and prompt Magnet with contextual information to make intelligent recommendations for modifying code.
The tool is available for free with a supported OpenAI API key and for $20 per month with additional paid features. Magnet is not another Integrated Development Environment (IDE) but aims to reimagine interfaces leveraging the latest capabilities of AI and provide a range of features like issues integrations, relevant context suggestions, change suggestions, pull requests, and tool-based agentic coding.
The vision for Magnet in the coming months is to build a truly integrated coding assistant that is aware of all aspects of the software development process and tools used.
Overall, Magnet is an innovative AI coding assistant that can accelerate the software development process and make coding accessible to a wider audience.
