Aide is a VSCode extension that brings AI-assisted coding features such as one-click code commenting, language/framework conversion, UI screenshot-to-code, and AI batch processing of files. It works with multiple LLM providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Ollama.

Use cases

• add comments to code with one click
• convert code between programming languages
• convert UI screenshots into code
• run AI processing on multiple files at once
• copy files as AI prompts
• get AI suggestions for variable names
• refactor code like a senior engineer
• smart paste clipboard content as code

When to choose

• you use VSCode and want AI helpers integrated into the editor
• you need to migrate code between languages or frameworks
• you want to turn design screenshots into UI code
• you need to apply the same AI transformation across many files

When to avoid

• you use an editor other than VSCode
• you need a fully autonomous coding agent rather than on-demand AI commands
• you cannot send code to external LLM providers due to privacy constraints
