4. AI: How to use Codeium in Visual Studio 2022

Preface ("System reqs")

I noticed that Codeium Extension requres newest VS 2022 Preview... and fast Internet ;) And... no VPN for my country... that's really cool feature!

Notice: this freeware ai is work-in-progress, so check it: https://github.com/Exafunction/CodeiumVisualStudio/issues

Install the Codeium extension in Visual Studio, and start seeing suggestions as you write comments and code.

Install Codeium

A. Open Extension Marketplace

In the Visual Studio menu bar, click Extensions, then click Manage Extensions: image

B. Install AI

In the "Manage Extensions" window, click Visual Studio Marketplace, search for Codeium, and then click Download: image

Then install Codeium.

C. Relaunch Visual Studio

Close the window and relaunch Visual Studio.

D. Sign in to Codeium

Open or create a new project in Visual Studio. A browser window will automatically open to take you to the Codeium website.

E. Create Account

If you do not have a Codeium account yet, you will be redirected to create an account.

F. All Done? Try to interact with this clever ChatGPT pay-free analogue :) For example, tell AI to explore & comment some .cs file. :)
