NeatCode: AI-Powered Code Enhancer for VS Code

The smarter way to write better, more efficient, and standardized code. NeatCode offers real-time, context-aware recommendations to ensure your code is not only correct but also clean, efficient, and aligned with your coding standards.

Overview

NeatCode is a cutting-edge VS Code extension that goes beyond traditional static analysis. It leverages AI-powered technology to provide smarter, more nuanced feedback based on real-time context. Unlike generic code linting tools, NeatCode uses AI to analyze your code and provide deeper insights that align with your team's or company’s specific coding guidelines.
