What is Code Snippets AI?
Code Snippets AI is an AI-powered code snippets library and development companion that helps developers generate, refactor, debug, optimize, and store code for their teams. The platform serves as an enhanced chat interface for Open and Closed-Source LLMs, enabling developers to chat with models including OpenAI GPT-4, Claude2, Mixtral 8x7B, and Capybara 7B. It supports seamless conversations across multiple AI models within the same chat session, with contextual awareness achieved through codebase indexing and vectorization.
Key features include AI-powered code snippet generation, support for multiple programming languages (Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, C, C++, C#, Ruby, Go, Rust, Swift, Kotlin, PHP, SQL), VS Code and Chrome extensions, desktop apps for Mac and Windows, team collaboration tools, secure snippet library with end-to-end encryption, AI context generation for better documentation, real-time LLM usage tracking, and local codebase indexing. Users can save, organize, and share snippets with their team, insert code directly into editors, and view AI responses as they are generated.
The tool is designed for developers, programming students, educators creating educational materials, QA engineers creating test scripts, content creators writing technical blogs, web developers, game designers prototyping mechanics, and teams looking to reduce repetitive coding tasks. It integrates with popular tools like VS Code, Chrome browser, and supports both online LLMs from OpenRouter and local LLMs from Ollama.

Frequently asked questions about Code Snippets AI
What makes Code Snippets AI different?
The Code Snippets AI desktop app is an enhanced chat interface for the most popular Open and Closed-Source LLMs, enabling developers to chat with models including OpenAI GPT-4, Claude2, Mixtral 8x7B, and Capybara 7B. Multiple Open-Source and Closed-Source models can be used in the same chat, as long as the model switched to has a sufficient token context window. Contextual awareness is achieved through codebase indexing and vectorization with computed embeddings from OpenRouter, OpenAI, or Ollama.
What programming languages do you support?
Code Snippets AI supports Python, JavaScript (and TypeScript), Java, C, C++, C#, Ruby, Go, Rust, Swift, Kotlin, PHP, SQL, and more. If the AI model you are using can support that language, Code Snippets AI can support it as well.
Can you see my code?
No. All written-input interactions with AI models are monitored for safety per OpenAI guidelines, but the company never uses, views, or has access to records of your code input/output. They never share or use your code to further train any AI Models. ALL code sent in requests to AI and stored within your Code Snippets Library is only visible to you, with end-to-end encryption ensuring privacy.
Do you offer a free plan?
Yes, Code Snippets AI offers a FREE to use plan, but you must use your own OpenRouter keys in the Desktop app. The free Basic plan includes access to online LLMs from OpenRouter, local LLMs from Ollama, ability to save 5 snippets to your library, free desktop apps, AI Chrome extension, and the ability to add team members. Only Premium/Pro plans have access to IDE extensions and the ability to save more than 10 snippets.
Do you use GPT-4?
GPT-4 is only available on the Pro plan. The Basic/Free plan uses ChatGPT and Google PaLM2 for all other models. Professionals and Power Users plans have access to GPT-4, while the Developer plan uses ChatGPT 3.5 and Google PaLM2.
How do Tokens work?
Tokens are calculated using OpenAI Guidelines, where one token roughly equates to 4-5 characters of text. The number of tokens per request varies depending on the content. The dashboard uses an average of 333 tokens per request to estimate the remaining requests available in your plan.
How do I get started with Code Snippets AI?
To get started: 1) Sign in to your account at codesnippets.ai, 2) If you don't have an account, create one and start your free trial, 3) Install the VS Code extension from the marketplace for seamless integration, 4) Get your API key from OpenRouter.ai (for free plan) or from your dashboard (for paid plans), 5) Copy the API key and paste it into the Access Token field in extension settings, 6) Download the Desktop App, 7) Start storing snippets in your library organized in folders, and 8) Begin using AI models to generate, refactor, and debug code.
Can I collaborate with my team?
Yes, Code Snippets AI is built for team collaboration.

What AI models are available?
Code Snippets AI supports hundreds of Open & Closed-Source LLMs including OpenAI GPT-4, ChatGPT, Claude2, Mixtral 8x7B, Capybara 7B, Google PaLM2, and Mistral 8x7B. You can use multiple models in the same conversation within the desktop app, as long as the model you switch to has sufficient token context window. Online LLMs are available through OpenRouter, and local LLMs are supported through Ollama.
Is there a discount for yearly billing?
Yes, Code Snippets AI offers a 20% savings when you bill yearly instead of monthly. You can choose between monthly or yearly billing when selecting your plan, with the yearly option providing significant cost savings over time.
