A question I've been asked regularly, so here's a breakdown on the practical differences for you as a developer.

🗨️ With Claude and ChatGPT, there's no context. If you give them a task, you;ll get a generic response, because they don't know your code.
🗨️ Alternatively, you copy and paste your code into the chat. Apart from being complex and time-consuming, you can only really do so with one file at a time.
🟣 Fine is connected to your GitHub and indexes your codebase, so it can quickly find the relevant context and write accurate, applicable code. It can edit multiple files at the same time, ensuring they work together.

🗨️ If you copy code into Claude or ChatGPT, the AI may introduce new bugs, by editing or deleting existing code - and there's a good chance you don't spot the changes.
🟣 Fine shows clear diffs and a Line Change Summary. It also creates an implementation plan, telling you what it's going to do, does exactly that, and tells you what it's done.

🗨️ To test code generated by Claude or ChatGPT, you're going to need to copy it back into your IDE to run.
🟣 Fine allows you to run, test and preview the code in the browser, whether you're accessing from your mobile or laptop.

These are just 3 of the major differences between working with the LLMs in their basic format designed for chatting and working with Fine's Agents, powered by the same LLMs, but built for developing.

For AI Coding - use an AI Coding Agent. Not an AI Chat.
