Bug Resolution: Debugging complex errors directly from the integrated terminal with one-click AI analysis.
Feature Expansion: Adding massive backend and frontend features to legacy codebases in a single prompt.
Rapid Refactoring: Cleaning up messy files, updating dependencies, and converting code between languages (e.g., JS to TS).
