ChatIDE – DIY Github Copilot X
ChatIDE is a sort of a DIY Github copilot X. Launch ChatIDE with a `Cmd + Shift + i`. You bring your own OpenAI api key. You can set the system prompt, temperature, and max tokens in the extension settings. The extension is currently not aware of any of the files in your project, although that might be cool to add later. Use it just like you would use ChatGPT in the browser. Feedback and contributions more than welcome.
ChatIDE – DIY Github Copilot X launched on April 4, 2023 with 43 votes, #1,472 of 4,853 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 3 years on.
In plain words
ChatIDE is a code editor extension that brings AI-powered assistance to development workflows. Users provide their own OpenAI API key and access the tool via keyboard shortcut to chat with an AI assistant while coding. The extension allows customization of system prompts, temperature, and token limits through settings. It functions similarly to ChatGPT in a browser but operates within the development environment. Currently, it does not have access to project files, though this feature may be added in the future.
