Briefer comes with an AI assistant that can help you generate code and queries for your pages. It can also automatically fix errors in your code.
To use Briefer’s AI assistant in the open-source version, you need to have an OpenAI API key. Please see the configuring an OpenAI API key section below for more information.
To use the AI assistant, click on the “Edit with AI” button that appears on the bottom right of your Python and SQL blocks’ editor. This will open the AI assistant prompt, where you can ask for help with your code.
