A 4-part deep dive on building AI code edits inside VS Code (docs.getpochi.com)

The Pochi Developer Updates announced significant enhancements for integrating AI-driven code edits within Visual Studio Code (VS Code). Key updates include capturing recent user edits in the agent context for seamless follow-up prompts, improved onboarding for the Auto Layout feature, and dynamic rendering strategies for AI-generated suggestions. This marks a critical evolution in AI-assisted development tools, enabling developers to refine and interact with code more effectively without breaking their workflow. Technical advancements include a new inline diff decoration for off-cursor suggestions and a floating preview for large, multi-line edits, which maintain the user’s cursor position. Furthermore, improvements to user reviews allow developers to provide inline feedback directly tied to specific code changes, optimizing the refinement process without lengthy explanations. This integration not only enhances user experience but also underscores the importance of maintaining developer focus, setting a new standard for how AI tools can assist in real-world coding environments without disruption.
