Why use API-based tools over web ChatGPT?

  • Data submitted via the API isn't used for model training unless users choose to share it.
  • API provides access to more recent and smarter AI models.
  • Extensive customization and configuration.

Requirements

Microsoft .NET 8.0 (included in Windows 11 by default) for app to work on Windows 8/10.

OpenAI account (API Key) for ChatGPT models to work in AI Companion app:
AI Companion app ► Options ► AI Services ► Open AI ► enter API Key.

OpenAI account (Usage Tier 1) ($5) to access GPT-4 models:
OpenAI Account ► Settings ► Billing ► Add credit to your balance.
AI Companion app ► click on model “Refresh” button near any “Model” drop-down.

Microsoft Azure account (API Key) for ChatGPT to answer with voice and mouth animation:
AI Companion app ► Options ► AI Services ► Speech Service ► enter API Key.

For AI Companion Visual Studio extension version only: Visual Studio 2022 17.9+
App extension version can be installed and updated via Visual Studio Extension Manager.

Why was this extension created?

Existing tools like GitHub CoPilot have limitations when it comes to interacting with AI. I wanted to create an app that could handle common tasks with more in-depth AI guidance and information. This tool does not replace GitHub CoPilot, but rather offers new features. My goal was to create a tool that would assist AI in responding to inquiries about an entire project or in revamping a Visual Studio solution using a different framework. Right now, you have the ability to request a project rewrite, as the extension can send an entire project or solution. However, there are some necessary updates that need to be made in order to save the outcomes.

Limitations

Token Limits - depending on the model used, requests can use up to 128,000 tokens shared between prompt and completion. Some models can have different limits on input and output. You can ask questions about an entire solution or project using the "Code - Smart Search" template. However, the size of the solution or project is limited by the maximum amount of tokens the AI can process. People who have access to the GPT-4 API can upload projects or solutions for AI analysis, up to sizes of 384KB (128K tokens, about 3 bytes per token). These limitations could potentially be removed if AI is hosted on-premises.

Rate Limits - restrictions that OpenAI API imposes on the number of times a user or client can access its services within a specified period of time.

How it works

This application (or extension) allows you to create advanced prompt templates and include data from various sources such as the Clipboard, Selection, Active Document, Selected Documents, Active Project, Selected Project, Solution, Selected Error, Exception with relevant code files, or Chat History. You can execute this template with just one button press, and the data will be sent to your preferred AI model for results at api.openai.com.

Data safety concerns

OpenAI will not use the data submitted by customers via the OpenAI API to train or improve its models, unless customers explicitly decide to share their data for this purpose. Customers have the option to opt-in to share data. Please note that this data policy does not apply to OpenAI’s Non-API consumer services like ChatGPT or DALL·E. More information can be found at openai.com/policies/api-data-usage-policies.

Code security assurance

To ensure our codebase is secure and free from unresolved issues, we utilize a comprehensive suite of security scan tools. Dependabot detects vulnerabilities in dependencies. Code Scanning identifies common vulnerabilities and coding errors with tools such as PyCQA Bandit, Microsoft BinSkim, GitHub CodeQL, ESLint, SonarSource SonarCloud, Microsoft Antimalware, Bridgecrew Checkov, Azure TemplateAnalyzer, and Accurics Terrascan. Secret Scanning detects any secrets accidentally pushed to the repository.

Risk levels

Rethinking AI integration

This application is built on the idea that Artificial Intelligence (AI) should be viewed like a crew member rather than just a simple tool. It is because the power of AI lies not only in telling or consulting but in actually doing and achieving. This perspective demands that security measures focus on the AI itself, not just the application it’s part of. Imagine hiring a person to operate a piece of heavy machinery: you evaluate and trust the operator, not just the machinery. The same principle applies to AI.

AI access and execution levels

In the realm of application development, artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly integrated not just as a tool but as an essential component capable of performing tasks similar to a human. It’s crucial to use AI that has been thoroughly verified and trusted, especially since it might have varying permissions, ranging from restricted to full access akin to a human user.

Modern robots operated by AI are no longer science fiction. These robots have access to capabilities similar to humans, so security concepts must be tailored to be the same as for intelligent, autonomous beings such as humans.

Sci-Fi: Star Trek: Data and Jean Luc Picard Sci-Fi: The Orville: Issac and captain Ed Mercer Real Life: Elon Musk as Tesla Optimus

Types of access

The application provides AI with varied access levels, from zero permissions to having the same full permissions that a human user has. The “Risk Level” categorizes the types of access and capabilities AI can have:

Manage access risk level

Unknown: Indicates an AI with access or capabilities that are not specified or identified.
None (Read Internal): AI is limited to only reading data within the application.
Low (Write Internal): AI can alter or add to data within the application.
Medium (Read External): AI has the ability to read data from external sources outside the application.
High (Write External): AI can change data in external sources outside of the application.
Critical (Full Access): AI gains full access, on par with a human user, capable of running applications and scripts.

The creation of the “Risk Level” framework for applications highlights the necessity for a deliberate and secure method to integrate AI. By setting clear permissions and access levels, developers can ensure that AI functions within its designated scope, protecting both the application and its data. As AI’s role in applications becomes increasingly sophisticated, adhering to the “Risk Level” principles is crucial for maintaining trust and reliability in AI-based systems.

Licensing

The source code is licensed under MPL-2.0 (Mozilla Public License 2.0), permitting corporations to integrate and enhance this application with proprietary code, without the requirement to disclose their modifications. Specifically, this license facilitates the use of the application for purposes such as enabling AI to access corporate resources or to automate task creation for AI, while still keeping any proprietary additions private.

This tool acts as an intermediary, facilitating data exchange between the user and the AI. Consequently, the licensing of this tool itself does not directly impact the rights to the code or content generated by the AI. Instead, the generated content is subject to the license of the AI model used (e.g., GPT-3/4, Davinci...). Typically, the initiator of the AI-generated code process is granted copyright. Both OpenAI and Microsoft offer a legal safeguard, known as a “Copyright Commitment”, to protect customers who face lawsuits for copyright infringement related to content generated by the companies’ AI systems.
