LocalAI Developer for Visual Studio 2022

Why Local AI Developer? Because it is more than just a simple AI assistant. Simply connect Local AI Developer to the LLM provider of your choice—whether it’s a local model via Ollama or LM Studio, or cloud-based AI using an API key—and it enables you to generate complete plans and patches. It analyzes the entire codebase within the solution and sends relevant files, along with their dependent functions, directly to the LLM so it can generate accurate plans and patches. Finally, it compiles the new files (where possible) to check for errors; if any arise, Local AI Developer generates up to three repair patches.

Every prompt is saved in a session and can be reloaded by the user at any time. Additionally, any step in the plan can be rolled back if desired (regardless of whether the plan succeeded or failed; however, the content of the individual files must still match expectations—if this is not the case, for instance because a subsequent plan modified them further, a rollback is impossible).

Here is the workflow in action:
