AIBeginnerCodeReview

Inspiration

I wanted an assistant when coding but was unsure how to make it useful, I was inspired by the idea of helping people new to programming and giving them a tool to help them learn

What it does

I made an extension to VSCode that reviews the selected file and uses AI to make sugestions for improvements to the code

How it was built

It was built using AWS ad Kiro IDE to create the project

Challenges

There were issues with connecting to the AI API, the first selected API was OpenAI witch does not have a free API so it was switched to Groq. There were then many errors that appeared as much of the code expected OpenAI connections that had to be changed for Groq.

Accomplishments

Most proud of creating it as an extension to VSCode. With a little more time this software could be added to the list of publicly available extensions on VSCode

What I learned

I learned about Kiro and its code creating functionalities, I learned about AI API's and API keys and how to connect to them

What's next for AIBeginnerCodeReview

The next steps would be improving the AI prompt and resopnse to better help new developers after that is satisfactory it could be published on the VSCode extensions list
