Code Explanation: Get clear, human-readable explanations for complex code blocks to understand their functionality better.
Codi Workbooks: An interactive, document-style interface to generate, analyze, and modify code in a more structured and conversational manner.
SQL & Regex Generation: Create complex SQL queries and Regular Expressions using natural language commands.

Use Cases

Rapid Prototyping: Quickly build functional prototypes by generating boilerplate code and core logic.
Learning New Technologies: Understand new languages or frameworks faster by seeing how AskCodi implements specific functionalities.
Automating Repetitive Tasks: Automate the creation of common functions, classes, and configurations.
Improving Code Quality: Use the test generation feature to increase test coverage and the explanation feature to review complex logic.
Debugging: Paste a piece of code and ask for an explanation or potential issues to speed up the debugging process.

Getting Started

Getting started with AskCodi is straightforward. The most common way is to install its extension in your IDE.

Install the AskCodi extension from your IDE’s marketplace (e.g., VS Code Marketplace).
Sign up for an account and log in through the extension.
Open a file in your desired language (e.g., main.py).
Type a comment describing the function you need. AskCodi will provide a suggestion.

Example in Python:

```python

Python function to fetch data from a URL and return it as JSON

import requests

def fetch_json_from_url(url): “”” Fetches data from a given URL and parses it as JSON.

:param url: The URL to fetch data from.
:return: A dictionary representing the JSON data, or None if an error occurs.
"""
try:
    response = requests.get(url)
    response.raise_for_status()  # Raises an HTTPError for bad responses (4xx or 5xx)
    return response.json()
except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
    print(f"An error occurred: {e}")
    return None

Example usage:

data = fetch_json_from_url(“https://api.github.com/users/openai”)

if data:

print(data)

Pricing

AskCodi operates on a Freemium model. It offers a free plan with a limited number of monthly credits, which is suitable for light usage. For more advanced features and higher usage limits, there are paid subscription plans (Premium and Ultimate) that provide more credits and priority support.
