question: "Why is it called PearAI?",
answer: <p>Pair programming... Pear Programming... PearAI!</p>,
answer: (
<p>
The name PearAI is a playful combination of &ldquo;pair
programming&rdquo; and &ldquo;AI&rdquo;, reflecting our focus on
collaborative coding and the power of artificial intelligence.

"What separates PearAI from Github Copilot and other competitors?",
question: "What separates PearAI from our competitors?",
answer: (
<p>
PearAI offers significant advantages over competitors in both AI
capabilities and user experience: <br />
PearAI provides significant advantages in both AI capabilities and
overall user experience:
<br />
AI Model Flexibility: Unlike Copilot, which is limited to OpenAI&apos;s
models, PearAI leverages the most advanced AI models available,
currently featuring Claude Sonnet 3.5. This flexibility allows us to
always use the best-performing model for coding tasks. You can also use
your own API keys, or local models. <br />
<br />
Enhanced Codebase Context: Using RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation),
PearAI has knowledge of your entire codebase, making answers much more
relevant and useful for you. In contrast, Copilot can only include
limited context that you must pick out yourself. <br />
<b>Unmatched AI Model Flexibility:</b> PearAI leverages the most
advanced AI models available, currently featuring Claude Sonnet 3.5,
ensuring optimal performance for your coding tasks. Integrate your own
API keys or local models for a truly customized experience.
<br />
UI/UX Focus: As a complete IDE rather than just an extension, PearAI
provides a more integrated and refined coding environment. This allows
for smoother workflows and more intuitive interactions with AI
<br />
<b>Superior Codebase Understanding:</b> Using Retrieval Augmented
Generation (RAG), PearAI understands your entire codebase, providing
highly relevant and useful assistance. This deep contextual awareness
significantly enhances the quality of AI-driven suggestions.
<br />
<br />
<b>Intuitive and Integrated Development Environment:</b> As a complete
IDE, PearAI offers a seamless and refined coding experience,
streamlining workflows and facilitating intuitive interactions with AI
assistance.
<br />
<br />
Open-Source: PearAI is fully transparent and open-source, which means
anyone can see, review, and contribute to all of our code! This allows
for a community-driven product, mitigates privacy concerns that other
similar tools face, and provide a faster development cycle thanks to
community members who help solve issues, and build new features. See why
this is a huge differentiator for PearAI compared to alternatives such
as Cursor on our blog post:{" "}
<b>Transparency and Community-Driven Innovation:</b> PearAI is fully
open-source, promoting transparency and community involvement. This
fosters continuous improvement, rapid development, and addresses privacy
concerns often associated with proprietary alternatives. Learn more

question: "How does PearAI compare to GitHub Copilot?",
answer: (
<p>
As a comprehensive code editor, PearAI offers a more integrated AI
coding experience compared to Copilot, which functions as an extension.
PearAI&apos;s user interface is designed specifically for seamless AI
interaction, and we prioritize utilizing the latest and most powerful AI
models available. Our advanced Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)
implementation ensures superior codebase context, resulting in more
accurate and relevant code suggestions than Copilot.

<p>
PearAI distinguishes itself through its open-source nature, guaranteeing
complete transparency and data privacy. Our community-driven development
fosters trust and collaboration, allowing developers to actively
contribute to the platform&apos;s evolution. Additionally, PearAI offers
a more cost-effective solution compared to Cursor.

question: "How does PearAI compare to ChatGPT?",
answer: (
<p>
While ChatGPT is a versatile language model, PearAI specializes in code
generation with its advanced AI models (e.g., Claude 3.5 Sonnet) and
deep understanding of your codebase through local Retrieval Augmented
Generation (RAG) implementation. This allows PearAI to provide superior
code suggestions within your coding environment, eliminating the need
for constant tab-switching and code-copying.

question: "Why should I switch to PearAI?",
answer: (
<p>
PearAI will speed up and improve your development. PearAI is a fork of
VSCode, and possess all of its functionalities, but also adds more to it
by integrating AI functionalities to speed up your coding workflow.
Current users have expressed that their coding workflow accelerated by
at least 3-4x.
PearAI significantly enhances developer productivity by building upon
the robust foundation of VS Code. We&apos;ve taken all the functionality
you love about VS Code and supercharged it with integrated AI
capabilities designed to streamline your workflow.
<br />
<br />
<br /> By switching to PearAI, you can speed up your product
development, and not lack behind in terms of AI tooling compared to your
peers.
Our users report experiencing a 3-4x increase in development speed. This
translates to faster product development cycles, empowering you to stay
ahead of the curve and maintain a competitive edge with cutting-edge AI
tooling. Transitioning to PearAI ensures you&apos;re equipped with the
tools to innovate and deliver faster than ever before.

"Why can't I just use ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or another LLM chat directly instead?",
answer: (
<p>
With PearAI, you don&apos;t need copy-paste code or switch tabs anymore,
as AI is integreated into the code editor for a seamless experience.
Also, PearAI provides better responses than vanilla LLM&apos;s by having
context of your codebase achieved through RAG (Retrieval Augemented
Generation). Try it out yourself - we&apos;re sure you&apos;ll love it!
PearAI eliminates the need for constant copy-pasting and tab switching.
Our seamless AI integration directly within the code editor provides a
streamlined and efficient coding experience. Leveraging Retrieval
Augmented Generation (RAG), PearAI delivers superior responses compared
to standard LLMs by incorporating the context of your codebase.
Experience the difference – we&apos;re confident you&apos;ll be
impressed.

question: "Is PearAI an extension or an app?",
question: "Why a dedicated code editor instead of an extension?",
answer: (
<p>
PearAI is a full-fledged app. Being an app instead of being just an
extension provides us the highest degree of freedom to ensure the best,
smoothest experience for you!
Developing PearAI as a standalone code editor enables us to optimize the
user interface and experience for seamless AI integration. This approach
ensures maximum productivity and efficiency for developers.
