Github Copilot is a great tool for leveraging GPTs while coding, but it is too “open loop” for more complex tasks that require Q&A, feedback to guide it in a particular direction, iteration on code execution errors, etc. There is a large class of tasks that are better accomplished in an iterative, stateful chat-like interface. Check out our open source tool Pair ([GitHub - jiggy-ai/pair: REPL environment for GPT pair programming](https://github.com/jiggy-ai/pair)). It can help you code, learn code wrote by others, fix other people’s code…
