Which Model to Select?

The "AI Rails Assistant" extension offers several OpenAI models to choose from. The most recommended models are:

  • text-davinci-003: The most capable model, offering extensive and detailed responses. Ideal for complex debugging.
  • gpt-3.5-turbo: A faster and more cost-effective model, providing quicker responses. Suitable for general debugging needs.

Select the model that best fits your debugging complexity and response time preference.

How Does This Extension Work?

"AI Rails Assistant" integrates with your Chrome browser to assist in debugging Rails applications. Here's how it works:

  1. When a Rails error occurs, the extension detects and analyzes the error message and code context.
  2. It then sends this information to the selected OpenAI model.
  3. The AI model processes the information and returns a suggested solution or debugging tips.
  4. This response is displayed in a side panel within your browser, allowing you to view and implement the suggested solutions directly.

This extension streamlines the debugging process, saving time and effort in resolving Rails application errors.
