# CodePilot AI Assistant
CodePilot is a powerful AI coding assistant for VS Code that connects to Ollama models to provide intelligent code assistance directly in your editor.
## Features
- **AI Chat Interface**: Interact with AI models through a dedicated chat panel
- **Template System**: Choose from various specialized prompt templates for different coding tasks
- **Context-Aware**: Uses your current file or workspace as context for more relevant responses
- **Code Actions**: Right-click on code to explain, refactor, or document it with AI
- **Chat History**: Keep track of all your conversations with the AI
- **File Context**: Select specific files to include as context for your queries
- **Themes**: Automatically adapts to your VS Code theme
## Requirements
- VS Code 1.98.0 or higher
- [Ollama](https://ollama.com/) installed and running on your machine
- At least one model pulled in Ollama (recommended: codellama:7b-instruct)
## Installation
