DevChat is the open-source solution to help you write prompts to generate code and documentation, going beyond simple code auto-completion. It isn't limited to performing predefined operations on short code snippets.

DevChat is the way developers interact and collaborate with AI.

💬 Build the future with prompts, not code.

• Great output requires great input, to maximize the power of AI, DevChat assists you seamlessly to provide the right context to the AI.

  Chat history, code, files, directory trees, git diff --cached, or the output of any command.

  

  

• Once you have generated code with AI, DevChat streamlines the actions to properly integrate and ship.

  View diffs, copy or insert, commit & sync, or export to documentation, wikis, and more.

  

  

• To guide AI in your work, define your own workflows with DevChat.

  

  Explore more prompt templates, iterative calls to AI, and program operations.

• To ensure the experience fits your preferences, customize your own experiences with DevChat.

  Open-source, no waiting for opaque feature schedules. Access GPT-4 today and more models in the future.

• The traditional code-centric paradigm is evolving.

• Write prompts to create code. Transform prompts into all the artifacts in software engineering.
