Nice UI. We started on a project that does this about 2 years ago. ChatDBG (https://github.com/plasma-umass/ChatDBG), downloaded about 70K times to date. It integrates into debuggers like `lldb`, `gdb`, and `pdb` (the Python debugger). For C/C++, it also leverages a language server, which makes a huge difference. You can also chat with it. We wrote a paper about it, should be published shortly in a major conference near you (https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.16354). One of the coolest things we found is that the LLM can leverage real-world knowledge to diagnose errors; for example, it successfully debugged a problem where the number of bootstrap samples was too low.
