Great to hear you're getting a ton of value out of it!

On the other parts you mentioned:

Overly positive English prose in Markdown is probably a function of the underlying LLM in use (Claude/GPT-4, plus experimental support for others). I guess the risk is that we overcorrect too far and suddenly the Markdown suggestions are off-putting. If you have any specific examples you'd feel comfortable posting to https://github.com/sourcegraph/cody/discussions/358, that would be helpful.

On inline suggestions (autocomplete), we are under much tighter latency constraints than for chat or commands, so the context used for autocomplete is lighter right now. This is a huge area of effort for us, and we're watching completion acceptance rate really closely. We are making autocomplete use embeddings for context in more cases, and @beyang is adding a fast local context search path as well.

On the VS Code extension APIs used, yes, there are some new proposed APIs that are not yet freely available to extensions that will help. For now, the new `Cody: Fixup` command is much smoother UX than the inline comment `+` icon then typing `/fix whatever`—give that a try and let us know if that is better.

Thanks!
