Hey everyone! I'm a solo developer working on several web-based projects and I'm in search of an AI tool that can integrate with my codebase. Ideally, I want something that can answer my technical questions about how my features work and help out with any support queries I might have. Has anyone come across or used tools like this?

I’m using VS Code with the Copilot extension. I’ve got GPT 5.4, but any of the Codex models work just fine. You don’t have to stick to VS Code either; there are alternatives like Claude Code and Cursor that work great too. You could also upload your code to GitHub, enable an AI model, and get Copilot to review it directly in the comments! No VS Code needed!
I’ve been using GitHub Copilot Chat and it’s pretty awesome! You can ask it questions about your own code and it understands the context. There’s also Cursor, which is like VS Code but with AI integrated, letting you chat with your whole codebase. For specific support questions, consider setting up a custom GPT with your documentation or checking out Codeium, which can index your whole project.
Have you thought about using ChatGPT? It should have the capability to assist with coding questions too!
I think any AI coding agent could help with that! Tools like Claude Code could be particularly useful.
There are also tools like DeepWiki and CodeWiki that can provide assistance with your queries.
Thanks, I’ll definitely check those out! I’ve seen GitHub Copilot Chat but haven’t used it yet. Also, I found RepoMind (repo-mind.ai) while researching; it seems similar to Codeium. Anyone have experience with that?
