Supercomplete
Blog post from Windsurf
Supercomplete is a feature designed to enhance coding efficiency by suggesting the next change a developer might want to make, independent of cursor position and whether it involves insertion, deletion, or editing, thus extending beyond the capabilities of traditional Autocomplete tools, which only suggest text for insertion at the cursor's current location. This tool addresses the common scenario where developers modify existing codebases rather than starting from scratch, facilitating tasks such as adding fields to data schemas, renaming variables across a codebase, or removing obsolete functions and associated tests. The development of Supercomplete involved overcoming significant technical challenges, such as fine-tuning models to avoid redundant text repetition and creating a user-friendly interface within Visual Studio Code's limitations by employing custom HTML canvases and VSCode decorations. By owning the entire technology stack from modeling to user experience, the creators were able to deliver a product that reflects their commitment to innovation and enhancing developer productivity, offering a two-week free trial through Codeium Pro, which also provides fast Autocomplete speeds and access to various language models like Claude 3.5 Sonnet and GPT-4.
