Your own personal AI coding companion, right inside Visual Studio Code!
This extension provides a powerful, React-based chat interface that is context-aware of your workspace. Ask questions about your code, generate new snippets, and get help without ever leaving your editor.
Features
📝 Context-Aware Chat: Attach files to your prompts using @ mentions (e.g., Refactor this function in @src/utils.js). The assistant will read the file content to give you precise answers.
💻 Code Generation: Ask the assistant to generate new code, from simple functions to entire components.
🎨 Markdown & Syntax Highlighting: AI responses are beautifully formatted with full markdown support and syntax-highlighted code blocks, making them easy to read and use.
🔒 Secure: Your Google Gemini API key is stored securely on your local machine using VS Code's SecretStorage and is never shared.
