  • Programming Support: Accurately recognizes camelCase and snake_case syntax for developer convenience.
  • AI Model Compatibility: Works seamlessly with OpenAI, Alibaba's Tongyi Qianwen, and other domestic AI models.
  • Efficiency Boosters: Features like automatic text pasting and global hotkey (F2) activation streamline workflow.
