What to watch out for
AI suggestions are a starting point, not a final answer, so you still need to review and test the code before you ship it. The free usage option and its limits can change, and installing the plugin in your IDE takes a bit of setup time at the start. Treat generated code as a helper, keep your own judgment in the loop, and verify anything that touches security or production systems. For best results, start with a small test file and review the output carefully before working on anything important. Free tiers can change over time, so it is worth checking the current limits on the official page before you rely on the tool daily. If the result is not quite right, try adjusting your input description or settings and run the task again.
