Ask HN: LLM Assisted Vim Workflows?

2•Insanity•2d ago

Hi HN,

As the title suggested, any recommendations and tips to build in LLM assistants with Vim? Any experiences to share about such a setup?

I’ve only dabbled with AI-assisted coding using Gemini / ChatGPT “on the side”, rather than a fully integrated experience like Cursor.

Not personally following this space but can we not just try Zed in Vim mode? It already has AI assistance built in.

I use aider paired with vim. In separate tabs.

I use CodeCompanion with Gemini. I think it’s on par with all other popular tools: you can chat with it, you can give it control over one file, or over the entire project.
