Side Buddy

Overview

Your friend living in the sidebar, powered by OpenAI API(from gpt-4 to gpt-4o, o1-preview). You can specify the model and temperature, and refer to conversation history(shared between Windows/WSL).

Requirements

This plugin needs Open AI API key. (sk-xxxx)

(The API key is securely stored in VSCode's Secret storage)

Change log

See CHANGELOG.md

Main features

Chat with GPT-4

You can chat with multiple models that are allowed for your API key.


Remove partial message

You can remove partial messages in a thread. Since GPT-4 has a limited number of tokens (8,192 tokens in 1 thread), it is useful to build long contextual conversations.


Thread history

The contents of the thread can be saved. The saved contents are shared between Windows/WSL and can be loaded at any time.


Model, temperature

You can specify model, temperature.

  • The model parameter is used to control response quality, speed and character.
  • The temperature parameter is used to control the diversity of generated text. This parameter is specified in the range of 0 to 2, and the higher the value, the more diverse the responses generated. On the other hand, the lower the value, the more predictable the responses generated.
