Technical Integration & Configuration

VS Code Extension

Install the Phind extension from the VS Code Marketplace (ext install Phind.phind). Once installed, open the Phind sidebar panel to ask questions with full awareness of your open files and workspace context.

Model Selection

Phind exposes a model toggle in the UI:

  • Phind Model — Based on Phind-CodeLlama-34B, fine-tuned on code and technical content. Free tier. 32K context.
  • GPT-4 — Available on the Pro plan for queries requiring broader reasoning or creative problem-solving.
  • Claude — Available as an additional model option on paid tiers.

Pair Programmer Mode (Pro)

Phind's Pair Programmer feature allows multi-step, agentic code generation. You can provide high-level instructions and Phind will produce multi-file output, explain its reasoning, and iterate based on feedback — similar to a code review loop.

Context Window

The 32K token context window allows pasting large code files, error logs, or entire stack traces directly into the prompt without truncation, making root-cause analysis significantly more effective.

No Public API

As of the latest available information, Phind does not offer a public REST API for programmatic access. Developers interact with the tool via the web UI or VS Code extension.
