🚀 Using the Chatbot

Once you open the software, a terminal window appears. This is your command center.

Starting a Chat

When the window opens, the software asks you to point to a folder. Type the full path of the project folder you want to discuss. Press the Enter key. The program now indexes your code. Wait for the status indicator to show that the system is ready. You can type questions like, "Explain this file," or "How does this function work?" The chatbot provides answers based on the files it just read.

Creating a Summary

You can ask the system to write a summary of your project. This generates a Markdown file in your folder that explains the purpose of the code. This is useful if you need to share your progress with others. Type the command for "summarize" to start this process.

Exporting Files

Sometimes you need to prepare your code for another system. The "dump" mode collects your project files and turns them into a clean document. This format makes it easy to move project context to other AI tools or documentation software.

💡 Frequently Asked Questions

Does this connect to the internet?

The software performs its tasks without an internet connection. Once you download the tool, your data stays within your local system.

Can I choose a different model?

The software uses a default model optimized for coding tasks. It manages these files automatically to ensure the best balance between speed and accuracy.

What should I do if the window closes?

If the window closes, it may indicate that your computer does not have enough memory to process a very large project. Try closing other open programs and running the software again.

How do I update the software?

To get the latest improvements, visit the download link again and replace your existing file with the newer version.

📝 Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, check these common items:

• Permissions: You may need to click "Run as administrator" if Windows tries to block the application.
• File Paths: Ensure the folder path you provide does not contain special characters. Plain folder names work best.
• Performance: Large repositories take more time to process. If your computer feels slow, wait for the processing symbols to stop moving before you type a new question.
