Code completion service

CoCo AI is our code completion service utilizing Chat AI. To use it you need a SAIA API Key. Many code editors feature LLM integration these days. We provide documentation for using the Continue extension for Visual Studio Code (VSCode), as well as for the Zed editor. Visual Studio Code (or Jetbrains) is required as your IDE (Integrated Development Environment) to use CoCo AI.

Continue plugin

Continue is an open-source AI code assistant plugin that can query code snippets or even entire repositories for a chosen model. The three main abilities of the Continue plugin is to analyse code, generate code and resolve errors. A new useful ability is a tab autocomplete key shortcut that is still in Beta. Models can be changed easily to, say, a model with a creative configuration, to which prompts without context can be sent, the same way the web interface of Chat AI works. Continue repetitively analyses the other code in your current file, regardless of programming language, and provides suggestions for code to fill in.

Zed

Zed is a popular VSCode competitor with builtin AI integration. Since the Chat AI API is OpenAI compatible, we follow Zed’s documentation on that. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a common interface for LLM interfaces to call tools and receive additional context. Zed has builtin support for running MCP servers and letting LLMs call the exposed tools via the OpenAI API tool call requests automatically.

Cline

Cline is an open-source coding agent that combines large-language-model reasoning with practical developer workflows. We outline Cline’s main benefits, explains its Plan → Act interface, and walk through an installation that connects Cline to the AcademicCloud (CoCo AI) models. Cline bridges the gap between chat-based assistants and full IDE automation. With a short setup that points to CoCo AI, it becomes a flexible co-developer for complex codebases while preserving developer’s control.

We provide a documentation for the introduced usage with our service CoCo-AI here.
