What Double – Coding Copilot does
Do you run into these problems with Github Copilot? - Bad completions that break your train of thought when you’re writing comments? - Doesn’t close brackets, or adds too many closing brackets? - Functions, variables, and libraries not being auto-imported after accepting a suggestion? - Multi-cursor mode not working? - Wish copilot could name your variables? - Wish copilot could trigger in the middle of a line? - Want to stop wasting time with GPT3.5 chat and default to GPT4? Double is an high quality alternative to Copilot inside VS Code, engineered for performance. It’s designed with great craftsmanship by people who care a lot about getting the small details right.

Company
Double - Coding Copilot
AI coding copilot engineered for performance
We are building Double, a high-quality alternative to GitHub Copilot that works inside VS Code. It fixes common issues developers hit with Copilot: bad completions disrupting flow, bracket misplacement, missing auto-imports, and poor multi-cursor support. It also adds features like variable naming suggestions and triggers in-line, not just at line-starts. It's designed for engineers who care about the little details that make coding faster and less frustrating, especially in teams and enterprise settings.
We currently live in San Francisco, CA, and the company will remain based here after YC.
San Francisco is where we are rooted as a small founding team and where our users primarily work. Staying here keeps us close to potential users and technical peers.
