Corey's ChatBot Intellij Plugin

Overview

The ChatBot plugin uses ChatGPT underneath the hood to assist you in all (okay, some) of your coding needs. You can interact with the ChatBot and ask it any questions you would like, even those not coding related. Additionally, you can fire intellij actions to Ask Chatbot about this code which will explain your highlighted block of code or Ask Chatbot to refactor this code which will offer up a refactor suggestion for your highlighted block of code.
