Chat GPT or Copilot Code Generation

Hello @george and the amazing wappler team!

I’ve been using Chat GPT to generate code for screens. It’s pretty amazing and works really well when you figure out how to ask the question.

I’d love a ‘generate code’ button where I set up my chat gpt API credentials, provide a description of the screen, and automagically it generates the source code in the page. I haven’t tried copilot yet so I can’t say if that’s good or bad.

I’m working on a project tomorrow where we are going to do this - use chat gpt to generate the source code and copy and paste into Wappler.

I’ll provide an update on our learnings tomorrow on this thread but I’m super-excited about it!

YESSSSS!!! That would work!

This is even better:

I’ve just been asking ChatGPT-4 for SwiftUI code for an iOS app.
The problem with any IDE is that thousands of functions are available to solve a problem or to contruct an application for web browsers to access and utilize.

But, few people would intuitively understand what they are, what they are named, what the name means in relation to what the given component does, how it does what it does, how to call for them, where in the flow of actions the given framework must be constructed to achieve the development goals.

Etc. What AI is accomplishing is to say, well, here’s a way to solve your desire!
It has such and such a name and here is an example of how it can be used.
However, there are 2 other ways to do what you want to do and here are their differences. Oh, and this particular method is now more popular and takes advantage of new capabilities over the other method I have mentioned.

Then the user, Me, asks to see the different methods in examples.
I decide to take advantage of xxx FormData and now I have LEARNED the name of the function, how it is used most commonly (best practice, hopefully).

if I had been able to query Wappler from the get-go to EXPOSE its built-in functionality and examples for any and all situations I would now be much farther along because I could have ventured down so many avenues in a fraction of the time. This is how, however, all applications such as Wappler have had to plod along. Wappler should train its own data model internally to be able to reach this kind of liberaing functionality for the Wappler user.

I would imagine this is already a Wappler goal. Besides how much time it would save on trying to manually create the best User manual and tutorials.
