VS-Code-Extension

Description

Want to develop your debugging and critical thinking skills while programming with personalized and custom support? Well, this extension is meant for you!

Falcon has been developed by Rea Ahuja at the University of Toronto's St. George campus. Additionally, this extension is currently in the process of undergoing research at UofT, hence it is not avaliable to access to the general public (you can download it but don't have the credentials to login and use it). However, upon the completion of the research process, the general public will also be able to access it.

Moreover, as stated earlier, the primary purpose of this extension is to help student's build their debugging and critical thinking skills while recieving customized support from OpenAI's ChatGPT.
