Scribe AI – ChatGPT Extension for VSCode

Hacker News

Hi everyone, I'm a junior developer that's been in the work industry for almost 1.5 years and working in the industry, I have to read and understand lots of legacy code and code written by other people. I always thought understanding code written by others to be very time consuming and decided to create a extension to help with that. Seeing as how ChatGPT can be used to understand and modify code, I wanted to integrate it into IDEs. Scribe AI is a VSCode extension that can be used to understand code just by highlighting a piece of code and asking questions about it similar to how you would in ChatGPT. The conversation is saved on your workspace and you can come back to view it later so it's good for note keeping as well. It's currently using the official API of OpenAI to access its GPT models (code-davinci-002 by default) so it's not as performant as ChatGPT but once the official API for ChatGPT is out, I plan to integrate it. It would be awesome if you guys could check it out and let me know if you find it useful or find any bugs or tips and suggestions on how to improve it. Thanks and happy coding!
