Unfortunately, on March 23, 2023 OpenAI shut down their code-davinci-001
model. As this was the only model that supported the code edit endpoint used by Clippy, I sadly had to take down this extension as well. I'll leave the code up here for others to learn from; there may be future strong models with insertion capabilities that could bring Clippy back.
Copilot and ChatGPT are both fantastic tools but I'll miss the low-latency file-wide editing that Clippy specialized in, as will its other 6000 former users!
Clippy AI is a simple wrapper around OpenAI Codex. It allows you to send Codex your current file as well as some instructions in plain-text English on an operation to perform. It then opens a diff view in your editor so you can easily see the suggested changes and accept or reject them.
