Qoder CN automatically vectorizes your local project and creates a codebase index when you open it, enabling efficient retrieval of the current file and cross-file context. Indexing is incremental—new or modified files are processed in real time without manual intervention.
Available only in Qoder CN IDE and JetBrains IDE plugins. Not supported in Visual Studio Code.
