RealTutor AI is an intelligent VS Code extension that acts as your real-time coding mentor — now powered by deepseek-r1-distill-llama-70b, a fast and efficient open-source LLM. It watches your coding activity, detects errors or long pauses, and instantly provides suggestions and plain-English explanations. The Node.js backend uses WebSocket to send code context to the locally hosted DeepSeek model, delivering smart, cost-free AI responses without relying on external APIs. Responses are shown in a dedicated side panel inside VS Code, making learning and debugging seamless. Unlike traditional assistants, RealTutor AI now runs entirely on your machine, ensuring privacy, full control, and speed. It's perfect for learners, solo developers, or anyone who wants to code and learn simultaneously — a true AI-powered tutor built right into your editor.
