Problem

I've been using the Continue extension in VSCode on personal and professional project for a couple of weeks, and I have a few improvements suggestion already, but for now I want to focus on a specific one: Documentation.

I struggle to figure out the purpose of the helpful/unhelpful button. I understand what it does for the time of the session, but I have no idea if I'm teaching the model I use, if I'm teaching the context for the time of the session or if that context is saved and reloaded when I switch from one session to another.

I wish it teaches the model. I hope it is saved and reloaded upon sessions.

What about changing model on the server midway ? I have no clue what I'm doing, what I'm losing and if I should use the feature carefully to teach my model.

Lastly, I wish there were 2 things

• A way to delete/hide parts of the conversation in the session history
• A way to say "That was a great session, let's save this forever in my model's brain so that I can remember it of it in 3 months when I'll be working on the subject again"

Anyway, thank you very very much for your work. This is a game changer for me, and will probably be a game changer for my company too. I wish you the best of luck.

Solution

Add some documentation somewhere. That feature looks so important and yet there's no information on how it works.
