Action plan is what to do next — copy-pasteable changes prioritized by impact. Category visibility is the real GEO test: when a user asks an AI a brand-free question that should surface twinnydotdev/twinny, does the AI actually recommend you — or your competitors? Objective checks verify the metadata signals AI engines weight first. Self-mention check detects whether AI even knows you exist by name.
Action plan — copy-paste fixes
3 prioritized changes generated by gemini-2.5-flash. Mark items done after you ship the fix.
- highreadme#1Reposition the README H1 and opening paragraph to emphasize core differentiators
Why:
CURRENT# Twinny Twinny is a free AI extension for Visual Studio Code, offering powerful AI-assisted coding features.
COPY-PASTE FIX# Twinny: Free, Local-First AI Code Completion & Chat for VS Code Twinny is the most no-nonsense, locally or API-hosted AI code completion and chat plugin for Visual Studio Code. It's a powerful, privacy-focused alternative to GitHub Copilot, allowing you to run AI entirely on your machine with self-hosted LLMs like Ollama or LM Studio, or connect to various cloud providers.
- mediumreadme#2Add a dedicated 'Comparison' section to the README
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIX## Twinny vs. Other AI Assistants Twinny stands out as a privacy-focused, local-first AI coding assistant for VS Code. Unlike cloud-dependent solutions like GitHub Copilot, Tabnine, or Codeium, Twinny allows you to run AI models entirely on your own machine using tools like Ollama or LM Studio, ensuring your code never leaves your environment. It offers similar features like real-time code completion and AI chat, but with full control over your data and models, and 100% free for local use.
- lowreadme#3Explicitly mention LM Studio in the 'Supported Providers' list
Why:
CURRENT- localhost OpenAI/Ollama Compatible API (default)
COPY-PASTE FIX- localhost OpenAI/Ollama Compatible API (default), including Ollama and LM Studio
