Show HN: Codeulator lets you pair with ChatGPT in Visual Studio and VS Code (codeulator.com)

2 points by ghughes 3y ago ↗ HN

Codeulator is a plugin that gives ChatGPT the magical ability to join a VS Live Share session and collaborate on your code in real-time. It enables read/write access to your shared Visual Studio or VS Code workspace, including all files and terminal output.

The intent is to streamline coding tasks that you're already accomplishing with ChatGPT - except now you can forget about copy/pasting chunks of code, having to tell the AI what changes you're making, etc. It's built to facilitate complex requests while working within ChatGPT's limited context window. (If you're curious: we use various strategies to mitigate this issue, e.g. a draft-then-commit model for writes, and heuristics to selectively apply lossy compression when ChatGPT wants to read a large amount of code, among other tricks.)

Codeulator is great for: implementing features across multiple files; fixing broken code and tests; analyzing and asking questions about a codebase.

I'll be keeping an eye on this post, so please try it out and report any feedback.

Hey there...

i wan to use your tool, but it doesn't work, GPT try to write and it say done and the document never changes, and many errors.

{ "liveShareUrl": "https://prod.liveshare.vsengsaas.visualstudio.com/join?9BC52...", "path": "_exe/Class/debug.php", "analysisGoal": "List all functions in the file" } An error occurred while executing the plugin.

But if a open the file, it has any change.

I hope it can be helpful...

Thank you.
