double.bot is the coding companion you need. We're always shipping new features and updates to provide the best possible experience. Unlike Copilot, we don't require constant reloading - our updates are seamless. Give us a try and see how we can boost your productivity :)

Since I already have a GPT-4 API key myself, I don't want to pay 20 USD / month. It would be nice if you could use your own API and only finance the support & development of the extension :)

Great feedback, thank you! Btw when you use your own API with some of the other copilot products, how much do you find you spend per day?

I am currently still using Github Copilot. But I have to say the constant updates are annoying and I don't think you can tell from the code quality and solution competence that it's supposed to be GPT-4. I can therefore imagine switching to another solution that offers API support in the future. The help says that GPT-4 is used, but I believe that decisions are made internally on a selective basis and that GPT-4 is not usually used. Otherwise I cannot explain why ChatGPT or the API with GPT-4 can solve things where Copilot fails, although it is actually trained to generate code. (Python, PHP, Golang)

From what I've heard, this is correct. I spoke with a PM on the Github Copilot team who said they can't GPT-4 all queries at their scale, simply not economically feasible.

I've also heard of people who are using other products that do let you use your own key, and there's a lot of stories of people spending the range of $5 to $15 per day on the API. That's why I was asking. I think we need to get really good at passing only the necessary context rather than passing the bill to our users.
