In A Nutshell
Carapace is a shell completion library (carapace-sh/carapace) as well as a binary containing a collection of shell completers (carapace-sh/carapace-bin). It works across multiple operating systems and multiple POSIX and non-POSIX shells.
Getting Started
Refer to Install and Setup to get it up and running on your system.
You can use any shell you want, but it is highly recommended to give Elvish a try. Not only shows it best what Carapace can do. It is pretty awesome anyway.
