Show HN: ChatIDE – DIY Github Copilot X (github.com/yagil)

ChatIDE is a sort of a DIY Github copilot X.

Launch ChatIDE with a `Cmd + Shift + i`. You bring your own OpenAI api key. You can set the system prompt, temperature, and max tokens in the extension settings.

The extension is currently not aware of any of the files in your project, although that might be cool to add later. Use it just like you would use ChatGPT in the browser. Feedback and contributions more than welcome.



I am developing something very similar to this. Check it out:

https://github.com/MateusZitelli/PromptMate

I have added a couple of exciting features:

- Autonomous mode: it can control VS Code (create/read/write files, run commands in the terminal).

- Nice UI to add files, functions, and selections to messages.


Added you both (ChatIDE / PromptMate) to my ai coding awesome list :)

Very cool! Adding the current file / selection to the context of the convo with GPT is definitely a great idea.


Cool project - but how come it has to be installed by vsix? Isn’t that less safe than the normal extension marketplace? Is this a ploy by GPT4 to bypass normal secure channels and become a superintelligence?


Now that you mention it ... GPT did say "don't worry about it" ... Jokes aside, I didn't want to deal with distributing it just yet. People are welcome to package it and install it themselves from source.


This is really cool! The context awareness would be an awesome feature to add
