Waitso

Version Downloads License: MIT

Stop wasting your AI wait time. Waitso turns the idle moments while your AI agent codes into micro-learning sessions — surfacing quizzes and bite-sized lessons directly inside your editor.


Features

  • Quiz Mode — Multiple-choice questions streamed live, with options revealed once the question fully loads. Pick an answer and get instant feedback with an explanation.
  • Bite Mode — Short, focused lessons with a typewriter streaming effect. Read at your pace, tap Next when ready.
  • Random Mode — Each session independently picks a quiz or a bite, so every load feels fresh.
  • Fully configurable — Set your topic (e.g. React hooks, system design, Rust), skill level, and preferred format from VS Code settings.
  • AI-powered content — High-quality, on-demand content generated for your exact topic and level.
  • Content flagging — Flag anything you find incorrect or unhelpful.

Installation

  1. Install from the VS Code Marketplace.
  2. Open the command palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and run Waitso: Open Learning Panel.
  3. Add your Gemini API key when prompted (or set it in Settings).

Setup: API Key

Waitso requires a free Gemini API key to generate content.

  1. Get a key at aistudio.google.com.
  2. Open Settings → search waitso.geminiApiKey → paste your key.

Your key is stored locally in VS Code settings and is only used to generate your learning content.
