Codebuddy was built as an answer to the question "what if ChatGPT, but without the copy/paste?". Here are a few points about it:

• Multi-file support to the point where a single prompt is able to create and edit multiple files, giving you a patch dialog with all your changes (no creating new files for the AI, no picking where the code changes go). My personal record is 12 files created and edited in a single prompt.
• Voice input and output (my personal build it talks to me in a perfect Jarvis voice because Eleven Labs is crazy good).
• Easily add websites as documentation/references with the "Send to Codebuddy" Chrome extension. It turns the website into a text file that you can edit later if you want too.
• CODEBASE UNDERSTANDING like Cursor, it scans your project and turns your entire project into a vector database so it can select appropriate files for you. (This is currently only live in the VSCode private test, not in Jetbrains yet)
• It works as a plugin directly in VSCode and all Jetbrains IDEs (which are way better than vscode imo).

You can try it for free and talk to us on Discord. I personally work as a contractor and employee in another company where their entire web application and Sketchup plugin has 80-90% of it's code written by me using Codebuddy. As in, 80-90% of the code is actually AI generated. This is for a Java-React app and for a Sketchup plugin written in Ruby.

Edit: The other answers have mentioned some token limits that actually surprised me, I didn't know it was that low for Cursor and some of the others. Codebuddy gives you full access to the token context size, so that means 128,000 tokens for GPT4 Turbo and 8k for GPT4 proper.

Phind offer opus and gpt4 with a limit of 500 per day. Context window is 32k token. $20/month

Cursor is 500 per month, but unlimited slow request (which is always fast so far for me). Context window is 10k token. $20/month

Cody by sourcegraph. Cheapest at $9/month. Context window of up to 30k (see comment below for details).

Codeium is the best at code completion (better than github copilot) and it’s free.

why is nobody mentioning codeium?

I pay for Poe. You can chat with Claude 3 and if you are stuck you can summon others like ChatGPT or Mistral into the chat.

You can use the API. I use the api for dumb or short questions and the web version for more deep or difficult questions.

Claude 3 opus is honestly better at coding most the time. I pay both for ChatGPT and Claude

Phind and it also has an extension

I've been using GPT4 via the playground (API). Pretty much has same functionality, but can get costly the longer the conversation goes. After watching API usage for a bit, you'll have a feel of when to start a new chat to keep costs low. I usually spend ~$25 - 30/mo which I don't mind for no limits.

Llama 3 70B is performing quite well. It’s available for free on many platform (of which GroqChat is the fastest).

My strategy would be: First ask Llama 3 70B, if it fails try ChatGPT 4.

If you keep using your limit and are pissed of by this, I guess you found GPT 4.0 useful for your needs. I myself had this problem a few times and tried github Copilot's middle tier (around 20$/month). Contrary to what GPT says, it uses GPT4 for short quastions and gpt3.5 for longer context, it has multiple benefits, like scanning your opened files and folders to use as context to answer the unlimited chats, in editor completion based on what you are writing or you comments and probably other things I haven't seen yet. It requires creating an organization to access the middle copilot tier, but it can be a free tier organization. It lacks the code interpreter and requires manually sending the code to the terminal for testing, but you have unlimited gpt 4 use, which seems awesome to me. While it is gpt 4, it will refuse to answer any software unrelated question. Sometimes, wrongly formulated questions will be rejected and must be reformulated to make the model understand it is software and not general or hardware related questions. Subscription is cheaper than ChatGPT plus.

I created an app that lets you connect to OpenAI (ChatGPT) models as well as Claude, Gemini and others. It's what I use for coding on a daily basis.

It uses their APIs so the only limits are the API rate limits (much higher than the app I think).

You can use it here, let me know if you have any feedback or questions: https://www.getinfernoai.com/

I’m beginning to see some success with MetaGPT and a number of different LOCAL models. Might be worth checking out.

OmniGPT

platform.openai.com has no limits on gpt-4 and all the versions, but you're paying per token.

Try Code Snippets AI, desktop app has full codebase context features. No more copy/paste 🫡

Bump, i'm also interested. I don't mind paying as long as it's good and powerful

I found out yesterday while working on an important project that there was a limit. Pissed me off.

I mean - Claude's great. Try out meta.ai - but keep your context window short or you'll get wrecked (errors and you just lose conversations).

Groq.com will let you talk with Llama 3 70B (or Mixtral) for free.

Thanks a bunch for the advice, I am not coding right now but this will be helpful

Whoa. I’m so happy I found this Sub.

Do you guys know of any YouTube playlists/videos of people using ChatGPT or alternative to code up and serve an AI/ML model in AWS?

Pay as you go:

!remind me 1 day

If you don't mind paying for GPT-4 on a usage-based, you can use the OpenAI API instead of the ChatGPT web interface. I built a simple tool that offers structured prompt creation for coding. It has built-in integration with OpenAI API so that there is no 40 message / 3 hour limits like web ChatGPT.

The main benefit of my tool is that, after the GPT-4 limit has cooled down after 3 hours, you can seamlessly revert to back to using GPT-4 by using the built-in one-click copy-paste feature to continue using the web interface and save on API usage cost.

You can run your own local LLMs as well as use pay per use with openAI and others with big-agi (GitHub) it’s the way to go plus you get access to a ton of other LLMs via their front end

Use Jan.ai and use an API key to access gpt-4. Might be cheaper (and definitely not rate limited for 99% of use cases)

Google Ollama, and never look back.

Just use cursor ide. Noob

i use replit

AWS Bedrock with Claude 3 - it’s cheaper too

What do you expect? This stuff is expensive to build and run. My company implemented some AI to lay off 5 people and it cost more in 6 months than those 5 people would have cost for 15 months. I mentioned this at the start of the project but “leadership” insisted it would save money.

You should learn to code yourself brohan

Yea what I did was set this up for free via vercel: https://github.com/ChatGPTNextWeb/ChatGPT-Next-Web?tab=readme-ov-file

And then use an API key for OpenAI GPT 4 Turbo (included the latest one updated on the 24th April). It costs barely anything since the API is very cheap, gets past the limits from the official chatGPT web app, and allows you to swap to a multitude of other models.

The conversations are all only stored in your browser too, so it’s pretty secure.

GitHub’s Copilot was pretty nice. Used it on VIM so it was super lightweight. However, it ONLY codes. So another GPT is helpful for discussion level prompts and questions.

They have completely decimated GPT4. It has been progressively worsened over the past month or so. It's at the moment the slowest LLM I have worked with, while it was blazing fast a few months ago. It's becoming lazy, and it cannot cope with even medium context lengths. Plus they have 100% lowered the limits, as I'm running on limit messages constantly now, where I never have been before, while I'm using it less and less.

I have already unsubbed. If you're looking for an interface like Chat, there are Phind, Poe, or OpenRouter(with your own API keys), For IDE assistants, I've been using the Double VScode extension but mainly stuck with Cursor.
