What is DevChat?

DevChat is an open-source tool that helps you write prompts to generate code and documentation. It is not limited to performing predefined operations on short code snippets.

DevChat is the way developers interact and collaborate with AI.

💬 Build the future with prompts, not code.

Why DevChat?

• To enable AI to write code, DevChat assists you in providing the right context for AI.

  

  Chat history, code, files, directory trees, git diff --cached, or the output of any command.

• To apply AI-generated code, DevChat streamlines your actions to take.

  

  View diffs, copy or insert, commit & sync, or export to documentation, wikis, and more.

• To guide AI in your work, define your own workflows with DevChat.

  

  More prompt templates, iterative calls to AI, and program operations.

• To suit your preferences, customize your own experiences with DevChat.

  Open-source, no waiting for opaque feature schedules. Access GPT-4 today and more models in the future.

What is Prompt-Centric Software Development (PSSD)?

• The traditional code-centric paradigm is evolving.

• Write prompts to create code. Transform prompts into everything.
