What is AI Dev Helper?
AI Dev Helper is a coding assistant powered by Google's Gemini AI. It can explain code, refactor functions, fix bugs, generate new code, convert between languages, write tests, and answer programming questions. Unlike chat-based AI, it's optimized for code-specific tasks with a focused interface for each operation.

AI Dev Helper accelerates these tasks: paste code and get instant explanations in plain English, select a function and get refactoring suggestions, describe functionality and get working code. It's like having a senior developer available for quick consultations.
