Highlights

👥 Learning with unparalleled companionship: GenHint goes beyond simple guidance. Our approach provides step-by-step instructions, but we don't stop there. If you want to dive deeper into any part of a process, just select the step, and we’ll provide detailed, contextual insights to ensure you fully grasp each concept. It's like having a mentor by your side, ready to explain each move.

🚀 Instant reponse with no pressure: Thanks to Groq, we are avaliable to help our users using the most advanced models at lightning speeds with no pressure on personal devices. Whether it is a workstation, or a thin and light, everyone can learn to code intelligently without worries.

Usage

Here's how to use our extension:

Highlight a comment and type cmd+shift+g(MacOS)/ctrl+shift+g(Windows) for structurizing (break down a problem into TODOs)
Highlight a comment and type cmd+shift+e/ctrl+shift+e for elaboration (break down a TODO into specific subtasks)
Highlight a code region and type cmd+shift+r/ctrl+shift+r for review (review finished codes)

We don’t just teach you the basics; we offer the opportunity to explore each instruction in detail. Whether you’re stuck on a specific step or simply curious to learn more, our AI-driven tool lets you uncover deeper explanations exactly when you need them, making learning intuitive and personalized.
