VS Chat

Chat inside VS Code instantly — without leaving the editor.

Problem

Developers constantly context-switch between the IDE and a browser chat tab, breaking flow every time they need to ask a question or paste a snippet.

Solution

VS Chat is a Visual Studio Code extension that opens a chat panel in the editor. Configure a WebSocket endpoint and display name, then chat without leaving your workspace.
