AI assist

The assistant reads your project and answers about your code. It is in the output pane, next to the run results.

The actions and what they cost#

Action	Credits	Free per day	Changes your code
Explain error	1	3	Suggests a patch
Explain code	1	2	No
Explain a failed run	1	1	No
Add comments	1	-	Suggests a patch
Fix error	2	-	Suggests a patch
Optimise	2	-	Suggests a patch
Generate tests	2	-	Suggests a patch
Review	2	-	No
Write a README	2	-	Suggests a patch
Explain the project	4	-	No

Large inputs cost more. An extra credit is added for roughly every 12,000 characters sent. A single file is normally one unit; asking about a whole large project is not.

When it is free#

• Your daily free runs on the three explain actions, as listed above.
• A repeat of something you already asked. Same code, same action, same day - the answer is replayed from cache and costs nothing.

⚠ A cache replay does not consume one of your free daily runs either. Asking the same question twice is free the second time in both senses.

Patches#

Some actions propose a change rather than describing one. You get a diff - the current code beside the suggestion - and you choose.

Accepting applies the change to your file, where the editor's normal undo works on it.

What it can see#

Your project's files. It does not have your run output unless you use the action that is about a failed run, and it does not know anything about your account beyond the code in front of it.

Getting better answers#

• Ask about a specific file rather than the whole project when you can - cheaper and sharper.
• Use "Explain a failed run" for a failure, not "Explain code". It is the one that gets the error.
• Say what you expected. "This should print 12 and prints 0" beats "why is this broken".
