Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Built directly into Zed so it’s seamless if you’re already using it as your editor. Slash commands allow you to bring in specific context e.g. tab, file, terminal output. You can create custom prompts and ask it to fetch contents from a URL. Can also be triggered in-line from within a source file and from the terminal. Workflows provide step by step instructions.

Tradeoffs

Obviously requires you to use Zed as your editor. The assistant UI is a fully editable view which gives you control, but takes a bit of getting used to.
