ErrorPilot is a production-grade, highly intuitive AI-powered diagnostic companion built exclusively for VS Code. Designed to instantly eliminate debugging fatigue, it analyzes highlighted compilation bugs, runtime stack traces, or logical code anomalies directly from your workspace and generates high-fidelity resolutions in milliseconds.
Featuring a gorgeous glassmorphic sidebar interface with smooth micro-animations, modular framework detection, and a fault-tolerant failover engine, ErrorPilot makes your coding workspace feel alive.
Before you begin: Make sure you have a free Google Gemini API Key. It's free and takes 30 seconds.
| Step | Action | Details |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 🔑 Set your API Key | Press Cmd+Shift+P → type ErrorPilot: Set AI API Key → paste your Gemini API key |
| 2 | 🖱️ Select your error | Highlight any bug, error message, or suspicious code in your editor |
| 3 | 🚀 Analyze it | Right-click → "Analyze with ErrorPilot" — OR — Press Cmd+Shift+P → Analyze with ErrorPilot |
💡 Tip: The ErrorPilot sidebar will slide open automatically with a 3-part AI diagnostic report — Root Cause, Suggested Fix, and a copy-able Code Solution.
Unlike generic chat assistants, ErrorPilot automatically reads your active file to detect the programming language and infer the active runtime framework. It then tailors the AI prompt to your specific tech stack!
- Languages: Full native normalization for
TypeScript,JavaScript,Python,HTML,CSS, and more. - JS/TS Frameworks: Recognizes
React,Next.js,Node.js (Express),Angular,Vue.js, and vanilla environments. - Python Environments: Automatically detects
Django,Flask,FastAPI, andData Science/AIsetups (Pandas, NumPy, PyTorch, TensorFlow).
A beautifully responsive sidebar visualizer featuring:
- Premium dark theme with vibrant radial gradients (
#0b0f17,#8b5cf6,#06b6d4). - Dynamic, smooth loading states with a custom laser-scanning overlay skeleton loader.
- Collapsible/expandable source code preview box keeping your screen clean.
- One-click interactive copy-to-clipboard code block buttons with micro-success feedback.
Built with robust enterprise-level error handling:
- Progressive Backoff Retry: If Google AI rate limits (429) occur, the extension automatically pauses, backs off exponentially, and retries up to 2 times.
- Seamless Model Failover: If the preferred model encounters service issues or quota exhaustion, it transitions smoothly through a secure fallback chain:
gemini-3.5-flash➔gemini-2.5-flash➔gemini-2.0-flash➔gemini-1.5-flash.
Flexible configuration that puts security first:
- VS Code Secret Storage: Securely caches your API key globally inside VS Code's system keychain.
- Environment Variables: Reads directly from
ERRORPILOT_API_KEYorGEMINI_API_KEYfor advanced terminal and team workflows. - Hardcoded Overrides: A fast developer override inside
extension.tsfor instant custom setups.
ErrorPilot integrates seamlessly with your everyday coding habits:
- Select Code / Error: Highlight a bug, a suspicious block of code, or a terminal error stack trace in your active editor.
- Right-Click: Choose "Analyze with ErrorPilot" from the context menu.
(Alternatively, run
Analyze with ErrorPilotorErrorPilot: Set AI API Keydirectly from the VS Code Command Palette:Cmd+Shift+P/Ctrl+Shift+P). - Get Diagnostics: The ErrorPilot sidebar slides open instantly, showing an active environment scan and loading animation, followed by a beautiful 3-part diagnostic report:
- 🔥 Root Cause: Explains why the error or bug is happening.
- 🛠️ Suggested Fix: A precise, step-by-step action plan to resolve it.
- 💻 Interactive Code Solution: A fully functional, syntax-highlighted code block that you can copy with one click.
Customize ErrorPilot to match your workflow:
{
"errorpilot.model": "gemini-3.5-flash"
}- Supported Models:
gemini-3.5-flash,gemini-2.5-flash,gemini-2.0-flash,gemini-1.5-flash,gemini-1.5-pro.
