ChatGPT Now Integrates Directly with Xcode and VS Code on Mac

by

OpenAI has updated the ChatGPT app for macOS with the ability to directly edit code in popular development environments including Xcode, VS Code, and JetBrains tools.

The new feature allows the AI chatbot to make changes to code without requiring users to copy and paste between applications. ChatGPT can now read code from these environments and make edits directly within them.

An optional "auto-apply" mode enables ChatGPT to implement changes without additional clicks. Alexander Embiricos, a member of OpenAI's product team, shared a demonstration of the feature on social media and noted that the capability will come to Windows "soon."

The direct code editing functionality is currently available to ChatGPT Plus, Pro, and Team subscribers who update their macOS app. OpenAI plans to roll out the feature to Enterprise, Education, and free users next week.

This update builds on ChatGPT's "work with apps" capability launched in beta last November, which allowed the AI to read code from development environments but not directly modify it.


The change makes ChatGPT a more direct competitor to specialized AI coding tools like GitHub Copilot and Apple's Swift Assist, both of which offer similar functionality.

I'll never trust OpenAI my code... maybe if the code is to develop things for me, but how can I explain to a client that maybe OpenAI has a copy of the code of their system?

Please can someone confirm, does it work only with 4.5, not o3 mini high? I will edit this message when I have the answer
Are you asking if it can use o3-mini-high? If so, yes, it can use any model. I just tested it on a short Python script in VS Code.

The most common reply I seem to get in ChatGPT is 'You're right...'

Really don’t want to judge about that stuff or anyone using it. Coding since 3 decades my opinion is: if you want or need to code, then simply learn coding, then practice, practice, practice. These tools look nice, but should be used - in opposite to the impression they would help or support inexperienced users or beginners - by those who know what they do, want and at least - but most important to me - UNDERSTAND what they are proposed from these bots. Used as some sort of brainstorming or tipping in the right direction for specific functions, methods or algorithms one doesnt implement regularly, ok. But you have to understand if the proposed code is efficient, safe, and doing what you want to achive. Copy Paste and try compile some snippets you have no clue about, better dont try start or learning coding that way. Old guy over and out :]

Would anybody with more experience suggest that ChatGPT might be better? Or any other for that matter?
Using JetBrains' "Full Line Code Completion" that runs locally inside IDE projects. Took a couple of days for it to get the language model up to speed, but now it's really good. It seems to be project-aware as well, for example the PHP namespacing is spot-on between projects.

I guess everyone just shrugs their shoulders

This is the big question mark with the implementations of AI. What it gives, it takes back.
