Please note that there is no text moderation with this plugin, and your prompt will be sent directly to the AI Server through the API. While mistakes can happen while using browsers, mobile apps, or this plugin, it remains the responsibility of the user to ensure the accuracy and appropriateness of the content generated(prompts).
The plugin serves as a bridge between the user’s IDE and the AI Server, enabling faster and smarter development.

🟢🟢🟢 How to use it in Offline mode 🟢🟢🟢
🟢 Set up an Offline AI server 👈👈👈
In order to use this plug-in with a local host follow these steps: 1- Download and Install Ollama : [here](https://ollama.com) 2- Check if the server is running by opening it in your browser: http://localhost:11434 You should see something like this screenshot:  3- Then you need at least one trained model to be attached to your new AI server, there are a lot of models [here](https://ollama.com/library), so choose one (codellama is a good one, I suggest that for now) and install it with this command in command-line: ``` ollama run codellama ```  After pulling the model is finished you can ask some questions in CMD right away. 4- Now use this URL instead of the OpenAPI's URL in the setting form of the Plugin in RAD Studio: ``` http://localhost:11434/api/generate ``` You don't need an Accesskey, no need to change or even clear it, just leave it. 5- Tick the checkbox called Ollama(Offline) and add your model name in the text box in front of the checkbox, in my case, I use "codellama" as the model name. 6- Congratulations! you did it, now enjoy forever free AI assistance. Note: depending on the hardware resources, the model size, and the parameter count of the model you can experience different speeds and performance, **so do not open any issues about the Offline solution's speed or performance**, there is nothing to do about that with the Plug-in itself, Plug-in is just a bridge between AI server and RAD Studio.

How to Use
Plug-in’s main form
You can use the ChatGPT menu from the IDE’s main menu directly to ask questions and get the answer. Click on the newly added ChatGPT menu on the IDE(or press Ctrl+Shidt+Alt+C) to open the wizard, type the question, and press the Ask button(or Ctrl+Enter).
Two New Tabs has been added to get separate results for Writesonic and YouChat.
So now you can get multiple different answers based on any question, compare, merge, and get the best quality and accuracy for your code.
Settings
“Other AI Services” Tab is responsible for setting up Other AI service’s tokens including Writesonic’s credentials.
Inline Questions
If you need to use the ChatGPT inside the editor you need to type a question directly inside the code editor and surround it with cpt: at the beginning and :cpt at the end of the question then press Ctrl+Shift+Alt+A or simply select “Ask” from the editor’s context menu by right-clicking on the selected text.
Usage Scenario for Inline Questions
Open a new vcl application project, add a new unit, and remove all the code from it! and type the following line,
select all and press Ctrl+Shift+Alt+A.
cpt:Create a full unit in Delphi including a class to create an XML file.:cpt
Dockable Form
Use the “ChatGPT Dockable” menu from the main menu to show the dockable form and try to dock the form to the left or right side panel of the IDE, and enjoy with your new Google killer assistant!
Context Menu
Context Menu for Selected text or a block of code. The Result will be inserted after the selected text as a multi-line comment between two brackets {}
Options
- Ask
- Add Test - Will try to create a unit test for the selected text.
- Find Bugs - Find fugs in the selected text.
- Optimize - Will Optimize the selected text.
- Add Comments - Will add necessary comments to the selected code.
- Complete code - Will try to add any missing code to the selected code.
- Explain code - will explain what the selected code does in Delphi.
Class View
Using the class view you have your class list with some functionalities in a popup menu.
It is also possible to use your custom command based on the selected class in the TreeView, in this case, @Class will represent the selected class
in your custom command, if you don’t use @Class the selected class’ source will be attached to the end of your command, just pay attention there will be
some limitations because at the moment it’s not possible to send thousands of lines through the API request.
Please note that it is best to use this feature for small classes. due to API limitations, you cannot send a class with several thousand lines of code in a question.
History
History is available if you enable it in the setting form, it’s using SQLite as a simple file-based database.
You can find an empty database in Resource\DB that named "History.sdb", copy this file to any place in the disk and address it to the folder in the setting.
Search in History
Right-click on the History grid and check the search item in the search bar that appears, it’s not visible by default to save some space, finally, type the keyword to search and filter, there are two checkboxes as extra options like case sensitive and fuzzy match string search.
Issues with SSL
This issue can be fixed if you put SSL libraries(can find them in the resource folder) alongside the bds.exe or in the Bpl folder(mine is C:\Users\Public\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\22.0\Bpl)
or you can use a build event on the project’s properties to copy these two class libraries if they don’t exist.
Another thing is, You don’t have to do that because it will work fine when you open any project in the IDE before using this plugin! I’m not sure that this behavior depends on the installed components or libraries or if the IDE loads SSL libraries at the moment you open even a new application. although using the plugin when you are working on a project seems more useful anyways.
