        Bito AI can easily write code, understand syntax, write test cases, explain code, comment code, check security, and even explain advanced concepts. Trained on billions of lines of code and millions of documents, we help you do incredible things without searching the web or wasting time on tedious things.

Official Documentation: Getting Started - BITO - 10x Dev with Bito AI

        What tools can Bito be used in: VS Code , JetBrain IDE , Chrome plugin, Vim / Neovim plugin;

2. What can program developers use Bito for?

        Bito AI is a general artificial intelligence assist tool where developers can ask any technical question, generate code based on natural language cues, and get feedback on existing code. You can use Bito AI Knowledge Assist to do the following.

• 1. Generate code: Ask Bito to generate code in any language using natural language prompts. (for example, writing a Java function to convert a number from one base to another)

• 2. Command Syntax: Ask about the syntax of any technical command. (For example, how do I set a global variable for git?")

• 3. Test cases: Generate test cases for the code.

• 4. Explain Code: Explain the selected code. Ask how this code works or what it does.

• 5. Comment method: Generate comments for functions or methods to be added to the code.

• 6. Improve performance: Ask how to improve the performance of a given piece of code.

• 7. Check Security: Asks if the selected code has any known security issues.

• 8. Learn technical concepts: Ask questions about any technical concept (eg, explain B+ trees, explain Banker's algorithm)

        The following mainly introduces the installation and use in IDEA. Please refer to the official documentation for the installation and use of other tools .

        During use, you can ask questions through the input box where the plug-in is located, and you can directly give the code:

         You can also use other Templates to solve problems, such as explaining code, security checks, style checks, generating comments, etc., and you can also add Templates yourself:
