Badges help share the status of various aspects of your repo, it's popularity and link to helpful resources for visitors like documentation.

In the AI era, there is a badge that is missing. A badge that can help your users explore your repository 🌈 and build with it faster⚡️ without reading docs.

Introducing "AI Code Assist" Badge:

To add such badge to your repo, just add the below to your readme.

<a href="https://app.commanddash.io/agent?github=<your github repo>"><img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/AI-Code%20Gen-EB9FDA"></a>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  • Replace <your github repo> with your Github Repository URL, for example: https://github.com/apify/crawlee-python

This will create an AI code assist trained on your code + issues in your repository.

Developers can click the badge, to access the code assist directly in a web app.

This sounds like a fantastic addition to any readme! How well does the AI handle complex or poorly-documented code?

Most models including ours can make sense of undocumented or complex code fairly well.

However, code comments are helpful when they share any insights or facts that aren't apparent looking at the code itself.
