Code Snippets AI - GPT-4

Code Snippets AI - Turn Your Questions Into Code with GPT-4!

Automatically generate code from scratch, ask questions, get explanations, refactor code, find bugs and more!

This Visual Studio Code extension allows you to use GPT-4 (on the Pro Plan) or ChatGPT to generate code or natural language responses to your questions.

Save your code snippets to your online library for your whole team to use!

The Chat features of this extension were built on top of Ali Gençay's ChatGPT Extension and all credits go to him for the chat functionality.

Built with GPT-4 & ChatGPT

We use GPT-4 & ChatGPT, which provides faster and more accurate responses to your questions, compared to GPT-3 or Codex.

• Insert custom prompts from anywhere with keybinding: (Ctrl + Shift + A)
• Right click on selected code to perform one of the following commands
• Add tests
• Find Bugs
• Optimize
• Explain
• Add comments
• Refactor code
• Save Code Snippets
• View AI responses in the sleek side panel
• See the responses as they are being generated
• Ask follow-up questions to the response (conversation context is maintained)
• Save and fetch your code snippets from your online library

Installation

To use this extension, install it from the VSCode marketplace.

Why not use an OpenAI API key?

After asking the development community, we have found a few key points that influenced our decision to introduce a pricing model:

• ChatGPT Plus is expensive at $24/month.
• Using GPT-4 can lead to more expensive monthly cost for users, over $30/month!
• CodeSnippets.ai is only $10/month and uses the same GPT-4 API on our PRO plan, or ChatGPT with other Plans.
• You can also save your code snippets into your online library for your whole team to access!
• Fetch your code snippets from your online library
• Collaborate with your team
