Fine hasn't been in the news as much as other AI coding tools - but it's far more powerful for (professional developers) in many ways and has been around already for 2 years.
Here's why it's different and whether you should try it out.
1) Fine has the full context
Sure, some other platforms have recently been catching up on this, but Fine's approach of indexing your repositories through GitHub really works. The team have been working for months on building the most efficient knowledge graph, which means your codebase is easily accessible to the AI when you ask a question or set a task. It's also the only AI dev tool that also indexes your issue and error management platforms, putting it miles apart from the others.
2) Fine offers pro-active workflows
The biggest time-saver with Fine is having tasks performed based on triggers. E.g. when a PR is submitted, review it; when the CI/CD pipeline fails, analyze the logs; when an issue is created, add context.
All these mean that when you as a developer get down to work on a task, you've got a headstart.
3) Fine is for building on complex projects
Twitter, TikTok and other platforms are full of viral videos of people building "entire apps" in Cursor and Replit because it looks cool - but most developers who have a startup to build or clients waiting for delivery on their projects, are barely applying the full power of AI.
Whilst the "viral" tools are making app-building accessible to beginners, Fine is changing the way professional software developers do our jobs and helping us keep a competitive edge.
