@luobaishun Hey Luo, thanks so much for the warm introduction and for sharing Monica Code with everyone!

@luobaishun Hey! Is this an alternative to cursor?
Hey, looks great but right now I'm using Cursor why would I switch to Monica ? I don't see a lot of difference, curious to hear your arguments.
Henry York
@noeschmidt Hi Noé! Thanks for checking out Monica Code. While both Cursor and Monica offer great features, Monica is tailored for seamless integration with VSCode and provides unique functionalities like our Composer feature and project-level indexing. If you're curious, give it a try and see how it fits your workflow. We're also continuously improving the product based on user feedback, so stay tuned for updates!

@noeschmidt Did you try it? I'd love to read your feedback as well.

@noeschmidt but cursor has composer (⌘+I) with full project indexing, no?

Hey Product Hunt community, As a developer, I'm thrilled to share Monica Code with you today. It's a tool that has significantly improved our team's workflow by bringing Claude 3.5 Sonnet and GPT-4 directly into VSCode. What truly excites me about Monica Code is its accessibility. We designed it not just for experienced developers, but for anyone interested in coding. Using our Composer feature, you can create and optimize code through natural conversation, making programming more approachable than ever. Let me share a recent example: Our SEO team, most of whom had minimal coding experience, successfully created 3 Chrome extensions (for web analytics automation, geographic traffic filtering, and multi-tab data export), 2 websites (a JSON editor and a prompt engineering tool), and 3 Python scripts (for keyword analysis, data cleaning, and database operations) in just two days. This really demonstrates how AI can transform productivity. While Monica Code is still evolving, it's already proving to be a valuable tool for our users. What makes it even better is that it's included at no additional cost for Monica members. Your existing Monica account - the same one you use for AI chat, image generation, video creation, YouTube summaries, and mind mapping - now brings professional-grade coding assistance right into your development environment, accessible across all your devices. ❤️ If you find value in what we're building with Monica Code, we'd appreciate your support with an upvote!

I've been using Monica for about 1 year, it really saves my life! So happy to see its new feature. It's time to uninstall Cursor, lol
Henry York
@chloeyang1990 Thanks so much for your kind words, Chloé! I'm thrilled to hear that Monica has been so helpful for you. We're excited about the new features too, and it's great to know you're enjoying them. Cheers to more productive coding!
Maru Rivera
No wonder why Monica made it to the top of the list today! Kudos team, what a great product!
Henry York
@maru_rivera1 Thanks so much, Maru! We're thrilled to hear you're enjoying Monica Code. 🎉 Your support means a lot to us!

Really impressed with how Monica Code bridges the gap between AI and everyday coding! The fact that their SEO team, with minimal coding background, pumped out multiple Chrome extensions and Python scripts in just two days is mind-blowing. Love how it's not just another AI coding tool, but actually makes programming accessible through natural conversations. Plus, being included in the existing Monica membership is a sweet deal. Definitely going to give this a spin in my VSCode setup - seems like a no-brainer for both newbies and seasoned devs. 👍
Henry York
@_ivan1 Hey Ivan, thanks a ton for your amazing feedback! 🎉

Congratulations on the launch! @henry_york I've been using it for the past few days and the integrated composer design is really impressive! I feel it's more seamless than using a standalone composer UI. I can switch between batch generating new files and regular Q&A/file modification tasks without changing the way I chat. This isn't the first Copilot in VSCode but it's always great to see innovation in this field today. I'm now using Monica Code to build prototype projects or review/modify existing code, and it's very handy. Thank you for that! However, I have encountered some issues when modifying longer files, and using the apply feature may also result in somewhat messy diff results. Looking forward to seeing improvements about that! Thanks again for your awesome work!
Henry York
@giyyapan Thank you so much for your kind words and for trying out Monica Code! I'm thrilled to hear that you're finding the integrated composer design seamless and effective for your projects. I really appreciate the feedback on the issues with modifying longer files and the diff results. We're aware of these challenges and are continuously working on improvements. Thanks again for your support and for sharing your experience!
Huel
OMG! As a product manager with zero coding background, Monica Code is absolutely a lifesaver! With its help, I can now actually develop small tools and efficiency plugins BY MYSELF! 🎉🌟 If you're a PM dealing with code but lacking tech background like me, you NEED this in your life! Say goodbye to code anxiety! 💪
Henry York
@will_michael1 Wow, Huel! 🎉 Thank you so much for your kind words!

As a long-time user of Monica, it's really excellent. I'm surprised their team has released this new code tool, hoping it will work better than Cursor.
Henry York
@tomlygo Thanks so much for your kind words, Tomly! We're excited to bring Monica Code to the community and hope it meets your expectations. Stay tuned for more updates and improvements. Cheers!
Peter_Yuan_AI
Wait and see, I always compare cursor to see what it looks like, right? And there's a new development on copilot, so it's really busy.
Henry York
@stark_yuan Hey Peter! Totally get where you're coming from. It's always exciting to see what new developments are popping up. We're just as eager to continue improving and seeing how Monica Code stacks up with others like Cursor. Appreciate you checking us out!

I am truly excited to explore the capabilities of Monica Code. The integration of AI into our coding environment is a game-changer, and Monica Code seems to be at the forefront of this revolution. As someone who spends countless hours in VSCode, the prospect of having Claude 3.5 and GPT-4o as my coding companions is both intriguing and promising. The multimodal chat feature and the Composer tool sound like they will significantly enhance my coding efficiency and creativity.

Great launch! Hope there will be plugin for jetbrains IDEs soon.
Henry York

Huzaifa Shoukat
Congratulations on the launch! I'm curious, how does Monica Code handle complex coding scenarios and ensure the AI suggestions are accurate and reliable?
Henry York
@ihuzaifashoukat Monica Code uses advanced indexing and contextual understanding to tackle complex coding scenarios. The RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) approach helps ensure that AI suggestions are as accurate and reliable as possible by leveraging relevant information from your codebase. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask!
