DEVUP Code — the AI code assistant for VS Code, Cursor and Antigravity

Picture a small JavaScript blog. Its slugify helper turns post titles into URLs, and titles with accents or punctuation keep characters that have no place in a link. Here is that fix, from the first question to the tests that cover it.

export function slugify(title) {
  return title.trim().toLowerCase().replace(/\s+/g, "-");
}

// slugify("Hello World")    returns "hello-world"
// slugify("Crème brûlée!")  returns "crème-brûlée!"

1. 1Select the slugify function and press Ctrl+Alt+D to bring those lines into the DEVUP AI chat.
2. 2Type @slug in the message box and pick slugify.test.js, so the current tests travel with the question. Each attachment sits as a chip above the message box, and a small gauge estimates the share of the model's context the message will use.
3. 3Choose a model in the picker and write the request: replace accented letters with plain ones, drop punctuation, and keep today's output for plain titles. The answer streams in as it is written, and Esc stops it if it drifts off course.
4. 4On the reply's code block, choose Apply. The rewritten helper opens as a diff, and slugify.js stays untouched while you compare the old and new code.
5. 5Happy with it? Click Accept and the change is written. Reject would have left the file alone, and Undo takes an accepted change back.
6. 6Select slugify, then right-click, open DEVUP AI and choose Add Tests. Drop the new cases into slugify.test.js with Insert, a single undoable edit at your cursor, or give them a fresh unsaved editor with New file.
7. 7Run npm test. If the editor underlines a problem in the new code, open Quick Fix on that line and choose Fix with DEVUP AI: the chat receives the code along with the errors or warnings the editor reports for it.
8. 8The conversation is saved on this computer. Reopen it from History next week, and pin it if it should always stay.

Each step has more detail in the docs: files and context, editor actions and Apply, and chat, models and history.

Search the model picker, narrow it with capability filters, and choose from models grouped by model maker. You can switch from the message box at any point, even mid-chat, and every reply names the model that wrote it.

See the model list for the models you can chat with.

Installing DEVUP Code costs nothing; you pay for requests from your DEVUP balance. That balance is held in Algerian dinars, and topping it up works with BaridiMob, CIB or Edahabia.

• Your balance in dinars shows in the status bar and at the top of the DEVUP AI panel.
• When a request needs more than your balance holds, DEVUP AI tells you and offers Top up and Refresh balance.

Questions about a top-up? Contact support.

• Pick your send key in devupai.chat.sendWith: Enter or Ctrl+Enter. Shift+Enter starts a new line with either.

The settings reference lists every setting with its default, and commands and shortcuts lists every command with its keys.

• You approve sign-in on devupai.com, so there is no API key to copy into the editor.
• Files that may hold secrets, like .env files, SSH and Git folders, private keys and certificates, never show up in file search, can't be attached, and are never changed by DEVUP AI.
• In Restricted Mode, DEVUP AI still chats and reads your attachments, but writes no files and skips project rules.

1. 1Install the extension: VS Code takes it from the Visual Studio Marketplace, Cursor and Antigravity from Open VSX.
2. 2Sign in: choose Sign in with DEVUP and confirm with Allow access on devupai.com.
3. 3Ask: open DEVUP AI from the activity bar and ask a question about your code.

For each step in detail, follow Get started in the docs. Sign in and account covers API keys and signing out, and Troubleshooting helps when something doesn't go as expected.
