AI Docs & Comments

AI Docs & Comments is a Visual Studio Code extension that creates documentation and adds comments to your functions using Artificial Intelligence. This extension connects directly to OpenAI, operating without the intervention of any third-party servers. This unique feature ensures a more cost-effective solution and guarantees the utmost data security and privacy.

As of version 0.0.4 you have the power to tailor the prompts used for generating documentation and adding comments. This means you can guide the AI in a way that best suits your coding style and documentation standards.

Getting Started

1. Install AI Docs & Comments from the Visual Studio Code marketplace.
2. Obtain an API Key from the OpenAI Platform.
3. Input your API Key in the AI Docs & Comments configuration settings in Visual Studio Code. You can adjust the settings using the AI Docs & Comments: Go to Settings command (⌘+⇧+P on Mac, Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows).

Please note that the OpenAI API charges approximately $1 for generating over 60 documentations.
