When both tools are installed, Fig’s Autocomplete feature will turn off in favor of CodeWhisperer for command line. This means you can keep using Fig for Scripts, Dotfiles, Plugins, and Servers until September 1st but start using CodeWhisperer for command line for its more reliable CLI completions and AI straight away. ~ fig.io
