Overview

Inline Chat in BoldCreate is designed to bring AI assistance directly into your workflow. Instead of switching panels or navigating away from your code, you can interact with AI right inside the editor or terminal. This seamless integration helps you stay focused, get context-aware suggestions, and streamline both coding and command-line tasks.

  • Automating Terminal Workflows – Generate shell commands or scripts in the integrated terminal to speed up repetitive tasks.

  • Refactoring Existing Code – Select a block of code and request improvements, optimizations.
