vim-ai

vim-ai is an AI-powered assistant plugin for Vim and Neovim that brings language-model features directly into the editor. It allows users to generate code or text, edit selections in place, and carry on interactive chat-style conversations without leaving the terminal editing environment. The plugin is built around OpenAI-compatible APIs, which means it can work not only with OpenAI itself but also with compatible proxies and alternative providers. Its command set covers text completion, editing, chat continuation, image generation, and debugging utilities, making it more versatile than a narrow autocomplete add-on. The repository also highlights support for custom roles, vision features such as image-to-text, and an emerging provider-plugin model for extending compatibility further. A notable design point is that it only sends content the user explicitly selects or includes in prompts, which helps users control what is shared with the external model.
