It's a AI code assistant. We can work

0:29
pro version as well. Let me just show
0:31
you the free version. So you just need
0:34
to install it. So after you install it,
0:40
you just need to install this, you'll
0:42
see this is the version here.
0:46
And as you install this here inside your
0:48
computer, it basically works inside your
0:51
VS code as well. So you can directly
0:54
link this inside your VS code.
0:59
So it is just installing it. So let me
1:01
just show you. Uh the pricing is very
1:04
good. They do offer the free plan and uh
1:06
free plan is more than enough to
1:08
actually check it out.
1:10
They do offer the autocomplete
1:13
functionality request as well of
1:15
advanced models.
1:19
So once you do install this, so now it
1:22
is
1:24
launching it. So just wait.
1:35
So you just need to allow the
1:36
permissions. So it actually works
1:41
right inside your PC. It's similar to VS
1:44
code as you write the code here.
1:46
Similarly, click on get started. And
1:50
here you can check out their theme. They
1:52
offer all these themes. Select the
1:55
language. Click on continue.
1:58
And here is the part here. So you can
2:00
import settings from your VS code as
2:02
well. Click on import from VS code
2:07
extensions shortcut keys or you can
2:09
simply say skip
2:12
and then you can even start using the
2:14
command line tool here which is try CLI.
2:17
So you can click the install try
2:19
command. So it will install this. Now
2:21
you're ready to go. So you just need to
2:24
login.
2:27
You can login with your GitHub account
2:29
or Google account.
2:32
So let me just select.
2:38
So it is just authenticating it. So just
2:40
wait. After successful authentication,
2:42
it will be redirecting. And now you can
2:44
login.
2:47
Login is now successful. So now it will
2:49
launch your desktop application. So
2:54
you can even launch settings extensions
2:56
from where VS code as well. So this is
2:59
the thing which is there. You can see
3:02
that now you can ask any question to
3:03
this try CLI. You can open a folder,
3:07
open a file as well. Let's suppose
3:10
you have an existing project you can
3:12
simply open that project.
3:17
So if you have a existing project
3:23
you can open that.
3:34
So here you can see you can open this.
3:41
You can open a folder here like this. I
3:43
think
3:55
you can actually open a folder.
4:04
So it will load all your settings. You
4:05
just need it's similar to VS code. Side
4:08
by side you can actually write the code
4:10
as well.
4:13
You can see that and right here in the
4:16
sidebar section you can actually ask any
4:18
sort of question. Let's suppose build a
4:22
calculator
4:26
then HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
4:31
So here you select your model. You can
4:34
see all these models are present here.
4:38
Claude, Gemini, GPT, Deep Seek. So all
4:42
these models are there. So once you ask
4:44
a question, it will generate the
4:45
response for you.
4:55
So you can see with full syntax
4:57
highlighting it is a very good
5:00
alternative to claude Gemini. You can
5:02
see how easy it is. You can copy add to
5:06
new file. So it will create a new file
5:08
and add this. And here you can format
5:12
this.
5:19
You can change the model here by
5:20
selecting any model type. Let's suppose
5:22
you want to use Gemini model. You simply
5:25
select it from this drop-down. You can
5:28
deep, Gemini, GPT, claude. All these
5:31
models are present. So I think it's a
5:33
very good uh texttop software similar to
5:36
VS code. You can actually install it.
5:38
It's called as try CLI. You can visit
5:41
their website try.ai pricing. They do
5:44
offer this free model which is more than
5:47
enough to check up check them out. If
5:49
you are interested you can enroll in
5:51
their plan. First month will be $3 and
5:54
then after that $10 from the second
5:57
month onwards. So I think it's a very
5:59
good solution very good alternative to
6:01
claude Gemini or Chad GPT. So definitely
6:05
check it out and install them inside
6:07
your software. So thank you very much
