Editable file-backed AI chat buffer for code editors

Editable file-backed AI chat buffer for code editors targets a $1.6B = 2.0M power developers × $800 ACV total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 25% YoY growth (estimated for AI developer tooling based on Stack Overflow developer trends and industry reports).

Key trends driving demand: Editor-native AI — Developers increasingly expect AI features inside their editor rather than separate apps, which creates demand for tightly integrated plugins.; Local and hybrid models — Rising interest in local or hybrid LLM deployments creates opportunities to offer both local LLM support and cloud sync for sensitive teams.; File-centric workflows — Engineers prefer versioned, text-first artifacts; a file-backed conversation fits existing git-centric development practices and improves reproducibility.; Prosumers & power users adoption — Neovim and terminal-first tooling are growing among high-productivity devs who are willing to pay for specialized productivity gains..
