Awesome update!

I have been using Phind almost daily for the past 3-4 weeks and the code it produces is pretty good and it is runnable on the first try more often compared to ChatGPT. Most of the time the answer is somewhat accurate and points me in the right direction.

ChatGPT (with GPT 4) has been slow af for me for the past 2+ months but I like studying a topic using ChatGPT, it is more verbose and explanatory when explaining things to you.

Maybe a purpose-built dedicated AI model is the right path. A model that does well in fixing bugs, writing feature code, and producing accurate code will not be a good tool for or conversational studying. And vice versa.

Also, I don't like that Phind is not handling the follow-up question that well when there are multiple kinds of questions within the same thread. ChatGPT is good at this.



Thanks for the feedback! Have you tried setting a custom answer profile at https://phind.com/profile?

You can tell it to be more explanatory for certain topics.


I haven't actually because Phind is working for me so far whenever I have code-related questions or when I need to refactor my code. TIL that I can customize the answer style preference, will give it a try!
