LLM Assisted Vim Workflows?

Question

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&rsquo;ve only dabbled with AI-assisted coding using Gemini / ChatGPT &ldquo;on the side&rdquo;, rather than a fully integrated experience like Cursor.

I use CodeCompanion with Gemini. I think it&rsquo;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.

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