## What it is
Genie AI is a Visual Studio Code extension that integrates OpenAI's ChatGPT models (GPT-4o, GPT-4, GPT-3.5, o1) as an AI pair programmer. It supports streaming conversations in the editor or sidebar, code diffs, commit message generation, and conversation history saved to disk.

## Use cases
- get AI code suggestions and fixes inside VS Code
- explain and fix compile-time errors from the Problems window
- generate commit messages from git changes
- chat with GPT-4 while coding and save conversation history
- view diffs between my code and AI suggestions
- export AI conversations to markdown

## When to choose
- you use VS Code and want ChatGPT assistance with your own OpenAI or Azure OpenAI API key
- you want inline diffs, error explanations, and commit message generation in one extension
- you want persistent, exportable AI conversation history

## When to avoid
- you don't have an OpenAI or Azure OpenAI API key
- you use an editor other than VS Code
- you want a fully offline or self-hosted AI coding assistant
