## What it is
A Visual Studio Code extension that integrates ChatGPT into the editor, letting users ask questions, query selected code snippets, and insert AI-generated code. It uses the unofficial ChatGPT API with a session token for authentication.

## Use cases
- ask ChatGPT questions inside VSCode
- refactor selected code with AI suggestions
- generate code snippets from natural language prompts
- explain a selected block of code
- insert AI-generated code into the editor
- have follow-up conversations about code with maintained context

## When to avoid
- you need an officially supported OpenAI API integration
- you use an editor other than VSCode
- you are unwilling to extract and manage a ChatGPT session token
- you need a maintained extension with an active release cadence
