Introducing MCP, Memories & Rules

Unlock limitless possibilities with Model Context Protocol (MCP), empowering LLMs to seamlessly integrate with custom tools and services for enhanced productivity and innovation. Memories can be manually or automatically defined, and are persisted as context to better align the Cascade's outputs with the user's preferences.

  • Global rules are rules that will be applied to Cascade in all workspaces.

Codeium Command UX Upgrade

Codeium Command got a major renovation.

Jetbrains Codeium Command demo

The most salient features are:

  • Persistent experience: Opening Command now instantiates a popup that lives near the relevant code until you dismiss it, instead of dissipating when you click away.
  • Follow-up support: You can now append instructions to your initial one and rerun the new command on the original code.
  • Hotkeys: Escaping, submitting commands, undoing or canceling commands, toggling focus between the popup and the editor, and accepting commands can all be carried out from the keyboard.
  • Block undo: Ctrl+z or ⌘+z while in the editor after a Command output will undo Command's entire change. You can also Ctrl⌫ or ⌘⌫ for the same effect while rehighlighting the original text and popping the latest instruction so that it's ready for a different command.

Chat Context Upgrade

Our latest update supercharges your chat experience with a suite of new actions:

  • Copy to clipboard: Easily copy messages with a single click.
  • Rerun with context: Rerun messages including relevant code from your project for improved responses.
  • Retry Button: Quickly retry messages that encountered errors.
  • Stats for nerds: Peek behind the scenes with detailed stats on what's happening under the hood.
  • /explain command: Get detailed explanations for functions, classes, and parts of your code right within the chat.
  • @mention files and directories: Easily reference files and directories in your code.
  • Inline context item pinning: Pin important context items for quick access.

We've also engineered the Chat input text editor to be significantly faster and more responsive.

Nudge

Highlighting a section of code now conveniently opens a small popup tool that lets you directly ask about the code in Chat or run a Command on it. The nudge can be disabled in your Codeium Settings.

Codeium Command

Command gives developers the ability to instruct the AI to perform tasks within the editor. Just open the command prompt (Ctrl+I or ⌘+I for Mac), enter a command, and watch Codeium code for you!

Jetbrains Codeium Command generate code demo

And even more powerful is providing in-line instructions on existing blocks of code in order to perform direct transformations. A simple one would be to just add comments to your code:

Guidelines For Chat

Enhance your chat experience with custom context! In the chat panel, you now have the option to provide your own short snippets of context for the AI.
