## What it is
A Neovim plugin that brings GitHub Copilot Chat capabilities directly into the editor, supporting multiple AI models including GPT-4o, Claude, and Gemini, plus custom providers like Ollama. It offers an interactive chat UI with tool calling, diffs, quickfix integration, and a scriptable Lua API.

## Use cases
- chat with github copilot inside neovim
- ask ai to explain or fix code in my editor
- use claude or gpt-4o in neovim
- ai code assistant with diff and quickfix integration
- run llm prompts on my codebase from the terminal
- connect mcp tools to neovim ai chat

## When to choose
- you use Neovim as your primary editor and have a GitHub Copilot subscription
- you want a transparent, scriptable AI chat with Lua API and headless mode
- you need tool calling, custom providers, or MCP integration in your editor

## When to avoid
- you use VS Code or JetBrains, where official Copilot Chat extensions exist
- you don't have a GitHub Copilot subscription or compatible Neovim (0.10+) and curl
- you want a standalone GUI chat app rather than an in-editor experience
