BugAI

AI-powered bug detection and one-click fixes, running entirely in your editor on Groq's ultra-fast inference.

Logo

Features

  • Live analysis - edited lines are analyzed automatically as you type; files are re-checked on save.
  • Liquid line markers - bugs glow red behind the line, suggestions glow yellow. A colored lens sits in the gutter next to every flagged line.
  • One-click fixes - hover a flagged line or open the notification panel and hit Fix. BugAI proposes the corrected code and applies it as an undoable editor edit.
  • Notification panel - a glass notification strip docks in the bottom panel area, listing every issue with its line number, a Fix button and a dismiss cross. Click any notification to jump to the line.
  • Problems integration - every finding is also pushed to the Problems panel and the editor overview ruler.

Getting started

Install the extension, open a file and wait a moment. The status bar shows BugAI's state: a spinner while analyzing, the issue count, or a checkmark when the file is clean.

Manual triggers:

  • BugAI: Scan Active File - full analysis of the current file
  • BugAI: Scan Workspace - batch analysis of up to 60 source files
  • BugAI: Clear All Issues - wipe current findings
  • BugAI: Open Notifications - focus the notification panel

Configuration

Setting Default Description
bugai.model llama-3.3-70b-versatile Groq model used for analysis
bugai.apiKeys [] Optional Groq API keys. When empty, the built-in key pool is used
bugai.autoScan true Analyze edited lines and re-analyze on save
bugai.maxLinesPerScan 800 Maximum lines sent per analysis request

For team deployments, configure bugai.apiKeys with per-developer keys to keep usage on your own account.

Requirements

Visual Studio Code / Codium 1.85.0 or newer. No other dependencies.

Web support

BugAI runs in the browser too: vscode.dev, github.dev, OpenVSCode Server and any other VS Code for the Web host. The extension ships a dedicated browser build (browser entry) with no Node.js dependencies, and Groq's API is CORS-enabled so analysis works directly from the browser.

To try it locally in a web environment:

# VS Code desktop, serves the web build at http://localhost:8080
code serve-web --extensionDevelopmentPath=/path/to/bugai

Note: vscode.dev and github.dev can only install extensions published to a marketplace, so a published BugAI (or an OpenVSCode/VSCodium server that loads the vsix from disk) is needed there.

Release notes

See CHANGELOG.md.
