Show HN: VSCode extension that uses the free Google PaLM API to "mimic" Copilot (marketplace.visualstudio.com)

I was surprised at how much Bard has improved lately so I decided to create this extension.

Ask Bard integrates Google's AI with VSCode to provide AI-generated code.

It utilizes the free official Google's PaLM API.

It works on request instead of automatically because I wasn't really a fan of how spammy it was.

Features:

- Google's PaLM 2 LLM Integration: Generate code snippets from your comments and unit tests based on your code.

- Multi-language Support: Supports various programming languages: JavaScript, TypeScript, JSX, Python, Java, C, C++, C#, Rust, SQL, PHP.

- Easy Configuration: You only need to set up your API key in the extension settings.
