Codeium
Free AI code assistant for every developer
About Codeium
Codeium is a free AI coding assistant that provides intelligent code completion, in-editor AI chat, and natural language codebase search for individual developers at no cost. It is powered by Codeium's own proprietary AI models and supports over 70 programming languages with integrations for more than 40 development environments including VS Code, JetBrains, Vim, Emacs, and Jupyter. Unlike competitors that restrict advanced features behind paid plans, Codeium's individual tier includes all core features without usage limits, making it one of the most accessible AI coding tools available. Its Teams plan adds centralized billing and administrative controls for engineering organizations.

More Code & Developer Tools
GitHub Copilot
AI-powered code completion that lives inside your editor. Writes functions, suggests fixes and speeds up development dramatically.
Replit AI
Replit AI is a cloud-based coding environment with deeply integrated AI assistance that lets developers write, run, and deploy code entirely in the browser. It combines a full online IDE with an AI coding agent capable of generating, debugging, and explaining code across dozens of programming languages. Replit is especially popular for rapid prototyping, learning to code, and building and deploying small web applications without local setup.
Amazon CodeWhisperer
Amazon CodeWhisperer is an AI code generation tool developed by AWS that provides real-time code suggestions, security scanning, and infrastructure-as-code assistance across all major programming languages and IDEs. It is deeply integrated with the AWS ecosystem, making it the natural AI coding companion for developers building cloud-native applications on Amazon Web Services. CodeWhisperer is free for individual developers and includes a built-in security vulnerability scanner that flags issues as you code.
Windsurf
Windsurf is an AI-native code editor developed by Codeium that takes AI coding assistance to the next level with its Cascade agent — an autonomous coding system that can plan, execute, and iterate on multi-step development tasks independently. Unlike traditional AI code assistants that respond to single prompts, Windsurf's agent maintains full awareness of the codebase and can act proactively on behalf of the developer. It is designed for developers who want an AI collaborator, not just an autocomplete tool.
