Context

Think of Context like the brain of Qodo Gen Chat.

The Context is what Qodo Gen's AI models know about your code and what they use to give the best, most accurate response.

Adding more context will give more accurate and relevant responses, so choosing context is an important part of using Chat to your advantage.
