Biggles, the coding assistant you can talk to

Sep 30, 2023 - jpallen.net
Biggles is a tool that can insert new code at the cursor position, modify existing code, understand voice commands, and take typed instructions. It operates using the OpenAI Whisper and ChatGPT APIs, requiring users to provide their own OpenAI API key. Biggles sends some code before and after the cursor position to ChatGPT to provide context.

However, Biggles has limitations. It has limited awareness of the code base and only knows about the code close to the cursor position. Users can adjust the number of tokens of context sent to ChatGPT in the settings. Currently, Biggles can only insert new code if no code is selected or modify the selected block of code, and it cannot perform complex operations like moving code around.

Key takeaways:

  • Biggles can insert new code, modify existing code, understand voice commands, and take typed instructions.
  • Biggles operates using the OpenAI Whisper and ChatGPT APIs, requiring the user to provide their own OpenAI API key.
  • Biggles sends some code before and after your cursor position to give ChatGPT some context.
  • Biggles has limitations, including limited awareness of your code base and inability to perform complex operations like moving code around.
