Refact.ai Agent: More than AI Code Generator

Why should developers try the Refact.ai Agent? Here’s how it works and what makes it stand out:

✅ AI That Codes Independently

The Refact.ai Agent doesn’t just assist—it thinks and acts like a developer. When it receives a task, it breaks it into logical steps and completes them autonomously. Its capabilities include:

Step by step, it works until the task is done.

✅ Seamless Tools Integration

Connect GitHub, GitLab, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Pdb, and Docker to enable the AI agent to autonomously handle related operations across all your projects.

Seamless Tools Integration

✅ Browser Integration

The Refact.ai Agent can mimic real user behavior in the browser, retrieve HTML/CSS data, or run JavaScript commands for debugging and automation workflows.

✅ Privacy First

Your code stays yours. All processing happens locally, so your code never leaves your machine.

Refact.ai Agent is integrated into the latest versions of Visual Studio Code and JetBrains extensions. Update your plugin, switch to Agent in the Chat panel, and assign your first task!
