Getting Started
Ghostwriter currently includes five features:
Complete Code - Ghostwriter's flagship feature. Ghostwriter leverages context to provide code suggestions as you're typing. Press tab
to accept suggestions.
Explain Code - Highlight code, and Ghostwriter will walk through it step-by-step in plain English.
Transform Code, and Ghostwriter will provide a suggested rewrite of the code block.
Generate Code - Provide a natural language prompt, and let Ghostwriter generate code to help solve your problem.
Chat - AI assistant that enables users to quickly get answers to their coding-related questions directly in the Workspace, without ever leaving the page.
You can get access to these features with a Pro plan or with Cycles for 1,000 cycles ($10 USD) per month.
Check out our Intro to Ghostwriter course to get started.
