Chat widget
A small chat card you can call up to ask questions about the code you are looking at.
When you would want it
Asking in the editor beats copying code into a browser, because the assistant can already see the project.
Where to find it
- All Features → Chat widget
- Settings → adcode.ai.chatWidget
What you get out of it
- No copy-pasting context into a browser window - it already has the project.
- Conversations are stored per project, on your machine, and never uploaded.
- The history is searchable, renameable, and clearable - including a single button that wipes memory.
How to use it, step by step
- Press the chat shortcut (or pick it from the command palette) to summon the card.
- Ask about the code in front of you - the assistant can see the open project.
- Drag the title bar to park it wherever it stays out of the way.
- Press Escape to dismiss it; the conversation survives dismissal.
- Reopen later, or find older conversations in the history list beside it.
Why this beats the usual way
Web AI chats know nothing about your files unless you paste them, which trains you to leak code into somebody else's logs. The widget answers in place, with the project as context, and shows you exactly what it remembers.
