AI assistant that helps developers interpret code and upskill for the task at hand
About ExplainDev
At its core, apprenticeship is a relationship-driven learning model, based on actual day-to-day work, in which a novice gains hands-on knowledge from an expert to grow skills and act with increasing independence. Early adoptors of ExplainDev have reported a 50% decrease in questions for the senior developer assigned to help them in onboarding. Include as many code snippets as you want and get editable explanations instantly. All elements are customizable from the size and background of the image to the positioning and styling of arrow or text elements.

CodeGeeX
We introduce CodeGeeX, a large-scale multilingual code generation model with 13 billion parameters, pre-trained on a large code corpus of more than 20 programming languages. Based on CodeGeeX, we develop a VS Code extension (search 'CodeGeeX' in the Extension Marketplace) that assists the programming of different programming languages. Besides the multilingual code generation/translation abilities, we turn CodeGeeX into a custom programming assistant using its few-shot ability. It means that when a few examples are provided as extra prompts in the input, CodeGeeX will imitate what are done by these examples and generate codes accordingly. Some cool features can be implemented using this ability, like code explanation, summarization, generation with specific coding style, and more. For example, one can add code snippets with his/her own coding style, and CodeGeeX will generate codes in a similar way. You can also try prompts with specific formats to inspire CodeGeeX for new skills.
