Bito AI Chat Input
Depending on the size and complexity of the prompt, Bito AI may take a few seconds to return the response. While you wait, Bito acts funny 😂 and displays a witty message generated via AI as we like to eat our dog food 🐶.
Bito makes it super easy to use the answer generated by AI. You can copy the response to the clipboard or insert it directly into the code editor in the cursor.

Generating the best possible response is as much science as art. The Bito AI models are built on the same technology as chatGPT handles the science part. Crafting a good prompt is the art part. The Templates in Bito takes the burden off your shoulder in being crafty. You can select a piece of code and use one of the eight prompts, whether you want to check the code for performance or add error handling. Behind-the-scene actor "Bito Prompt Manager" crafts a well-versed prompt that squeezes the best response out of the machine. You can also save your favorite prompts for quick access anytime. Check out Custom Prompt Templates.

Any Shortcut such as "Performance Check" or "Improve Readability" that proposes changes to your existing code automatically opens a "Diff View" between the proposed and actual code. This allows you to review the changes before accepting them into your code. The diff view opens automatically when Bito AI returns the proposed changes. You can also view the diff at any point through the "Diff" action.
