“World’s first truly useful chatbot”

Let’s see how it assists software developers.

First I asked a question — “Write a kotlin method that only returns the day from a given date”

Here is the output

• Wow, that’s impressive. It answered questions with concise details.

Next I asked — “add a unit test to the above code”

Just keep in mind that I haven’t put any code; I just said “above code.” and That’s the charm of this chatbot; he can deliver information based on the thread reference.

Let’s check the output:

• Yes I got exact output.

Does this code work?

So far, I’m pretty impressed with the results, I was not really expecting this level of detail.

But when it came to testing the code, I found a couple of issues that clearly highlight the shortcomings of this bot.
