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.
