Install the extension

Marketplace page

When the extension is installed, a prompt will appear for you to enter in your API key.

This extension uses secret storage for API keys.

⚠️ NOTE: Other extensions may store your API key in settings.json - this is not secure ⚠️

All extensions can read the contents of settings.json. If your API key is stored there, a malicious extension can easily access it. To protect your API key, it must be stored in secret storage.

Can't figure out where to put my API key

I'm sure I'm missing something and I'm not very familiar with Extensions in general, so I can't figure out where settings.json is or where to put my API key.

Can a commercial version be licensed and closed source?

How would one contact you?

popup is unreadable if response from gpt-3 is too long.

so I just made a request which had a very long output, and the popup was going off screen.
Not being able to copy output, so basically I just lost tokens.

Output to a txt file or an UI fix would be appreciated.

Limited Return Output

I selected 20+ lines of code in a python program to be reviewed. The returned output was in a popup window and seemed to be truncated. I copied the contents of the returned output and verified this was the case.

Used version v0.11.1 of GPT-3 A.I. Coding Assistant.
