CodeSense AI
CodeSense AI is a Visual Studio Code extension that adds an AI code reviewer and chat assistant inside the editor. It connects to Google Gemini or OpenAI using your own API keys, then helps you review code, ask questions about your workspace, and apply suggested fixes with a built-in diff viewer.
The extension runs a chat panel in VS Code where you can request code reviews, generate new files, modify existing ones, run terminal commands, and manage folders. Conversations persist across view switches, and you can reload or reset chat history when needed.
API keys are stored with VS Code secret storage and sent only to the provider you choose. The project is open source under the MIT license and is published on the Visual Studio Marketplace.
