About Refact.ai
Refact.ai is an open-source AI coding agent that runs inside the IDE. It offers in-editor chat for asking, editing and debugging code, real-time autocompletion, and an agent that plans and carries out tasks step by step after searching the repository. It can connect to GitHub, databases and CI/CD pipelines, and lets you choose which language models to use.
It can be deployed on-premise so code stays on your own servers. The hosted Refact Cloud service is shutting down, so self-hosting is the main way to use it going forward.
