Key buying criteria for AI Coding & Dev Tools
Repository Context Indexing
Ensure the AI indexes your full codebase context (RAG) rather than just active files.
Multi-File Agent Edits
Ability to refactor code and apply changes across multiple files simultaneously.
Privacy & Security
Verify zero data retention policies so your proprietary codebase is never used for LLM training.
