As a dev I was immediately turned off by having absolutely nothing on the page showing me what it can actually do.

Hey there! Thanks for your feedback, we should've have been more clear. What our extension allows you to do on VS Code is:

- Go to a file / highlight a block of code you want to understand at depth

- We take the commit hashes for the lines selected (the whole file if no LOC selected)

- We pass those commit hashes as a parameter to the GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket API to obtain all the associated PRs

- We sort those PRs by relevance (using number of comments as the heuristic)

- With the title of that PR, we search for the Slack threads and Jira tickets most closely associated to that PR title (if you optinally integrated Slack and/or Jira)

- We aggregate to a GPT prompt the title and body of the most relevant piece of info from each source, to finally generate a summary of that code context.

Having some examples on the page would really help. Your explanations do not really give me any idea what to expect.
I agree, no examples means I have to download and try it out - no thanks .
Thanks! We'll try to provide better examples.
