What is Refact AI?

Refact AI is an open-source coding assistant designed to help developers write and improve code faster. It offers code completion, refactoring suggestions, and other development tools powered by AI models. The tool can be deployed on your own servers for complete privacy and control, or used through cloud-hosted plans if you prefer a managed service. Refact AI is particularly useful for teams that need coding assistance without relying on third-party cloud infrastructure, though it also works well for individual developers who want a cost-effective alternative to other AI coding tools. The open-source nature means you can inspect the code, modify it to suit your needs, and avoid vendor lock-in.
