Which development tools to use when I want some AI assistance?
-
The thing is that when I start coding it happens that some line may give an error and I do not know how to solve it.
Then I would like to be able to ask AI what is wrong.I guess a separate AI is not handy for that, because it needs to be able to read the context (more project files).

I guess I am a different generation from you, but what happened to figuring it out for yourself? Even Googling and reading what you come across, rather than just getting an answer from an AI? IMHO you learn so much extra this way. It's even enjoyable! :)

Hi,
I want to start a big project using Qt with an QML based UI. I'm on my own and QML is new for me. Therefore I want to use AI to help me. Not to create the code. Not to take design decisions. Just to assist me. I should be able to ask how thinks can be done, advice me for possible solutions, help me solve bugs, etc.
I wonder what the best approach for this would be.
QtCreator with QT Assitance?
Not sure if QT Assistance is smart enough. I know it can do code completion and such. But if I understand correctly, it does not have knowledge of the whole project. So it can not help me project wise.
I think QT Assitance is not supported in the community version. But is it in the Small Business version?VSCode with some AI tool (like CoPilot)?
Anybody experience with this? Can I use VSCode for QML based Qt applications? Is it wise to do so? Or should I use QtCreator at any time for an userfriendly programming experience?Cursor?
Best tool for project wise help?
But does it support Qt? -

Well it is just the modern way of googling, isn't it? I'm not asking it to write code.
And I want to spend more time on the creative process rather then on finding out what is wrong. And I will learn each time I get an answer. -

But does it support Qt?Hey @Simmania,
Qt AI Assistant is supposedly faring as good or better than using some AI without it, thus a strong recommendation from my side:
-
Since I couldn’t figure out how to add it through Qt Creator, I open VS Code on my side screen and use that instead. It’s a simple solution, but it works. It can modify the project as needed.

Surely the AI can help you with that? ;-)
