First thanks alot, the sidebar and new chat UI are wonderful and very effective.
Now, let’s discuss an important topic:
When I select text in the chat, the attachment is sent successfully to the AI LLM system. However, when I continue chatting and attach again, It seems the next attachment isn’t being read well either. I have to repeatedly tell the AI to “please read attachments.” This is not ideal; something is wrong, and the attachment seems to have low priority. Please set the attachment code to the highest priority, positioned at the bottom of every message, so the AI can read it successfully every time, whether in the first session or during a chat session.
Update: Attachments are not working at all in conversations now.
I hear you @libandreas
From what I understand is, that Cody does not use any content as context at all now?
Does this happen on a new conversation or on longer conversations too?
This occurs during longer conversations when I select something in the editor and ask about it;
the code is either not sent to the chat or is sent at very low priority. The AI often fails to recognize it, and I have to remind it to check the attachments, which doesn’t always work.
I want to implement caching variables in a part of my code, but this will make my previous code, instead of the new I selected. It seems that previous messages take priority over the newly attached code, which should be the opposite.
Then it is really better to start a new chat with the ongoing code changes.
On longer chat sessions and when code changes during the chat which are already in the context are confusing for any LLM so Cody too.
Yes, this is not ideal. I often need access to previous messages when building something and selecting code, especially for the selected code. Other plugins prioritize reading the selected content, and I believe this is important. I’m not sure if it’s a priority, but it’s valuable feedback.
For example, I make something and I need to make the same in another part of the code. Why should I describe again full details a second time?
No, it doesn’t happen in a long conversation; it occurs in the second message.
