I don't know if I'm misreading it, but from what I read about this mode, it seems to only provide completions for minibuffer commands. Undoubtedly useful feature, and for this usecase I already use ido-mode with fuzzy matches. But in my original text I was rather referring to autocompletion when you write code/text, i.e. in buffers different from the minibuffer.
