description

Your personal coding companion designed specifically for career switchers and beginners.

🚀 Overview
The AI Coding Tutor is a personal, interactive coding companion designed to help you learn concepts, not just copy answers. It lives directly inside your browser as a floating overlay on LeetCode and HackerRank, providing real-time guidance, literal code tracing, and interview practice.

✨ Key Features:
🧠 Interactive Learning:
- Socratic Method: The AI doesn't just give you the answer. It asks follow-up questions to test your understanding (e.g., "Now that we fixed the loop, what happens if the array is empty?").
- Literal Code Tracing: Prevents confusion by tracing your code exactly as written, highlighting logic errors like off-by-one bugs or loop termination issues step-by-step.
- Business Analogies: Explains complex algorithms using relatable scenarios (e.g., "Think of a HashMap like a library card catalog...").

🗣️ Voice & Interview Practice:
🎙️ Voice Input: Click the microphone to speak your questions or explain your logic naturally.
🔊 Text-to-Speech (TTS): Enable the speaker toggle to hear the AI's response read aloud.
Practice Interview Mode: Simulate a real whiteboard interview. Explain your approach verbally, and the AI will critique your communication, clarity, and technical accuracy.

🎨 Professional UI
Floating Overlay: A non-intrusive, draggable panel that stays with you as you code.
Smart Layout: Tightly integrated UI that never blocks critical platform features.
Dark/Light Mode: Automatically syncs with your preference or can be toggled manually.

🛠️ Installation
How to obtain OpenAI API Key
- Access the Platform: Go to the OpenAI Platform and log in.
- Create Key: Click on "API Keys" in the left-hand menu and select "+ Create new secret key".
- Name and Secure: Name your key for reference. Copy and store the key securely, as it will be hidden after you close the window.
- Billing/Limits: Ensure you have billing set up or available credits, as you may need to add payment details to use the API.

Setup:
Go to any LeetCode/HackerRank problem page.
Click the Settings (⚙️) icon in the overlay.
Enter your OpenAI API Key (stored locally on your device for privacy). https://platform.openai.com/api-keys
Select your preferred model (GPT-4o recommended for best reasoning).

🔒 Privacy & Security
Local Storage: Your API key is stored only in your browser's local storage. It is never sent to any third-party server other than OpenAI.
Direct Communication: The extension communicates directly from your browser to OpenAI.

💡 How to Use
Explain Problem: Stuck on the description? Get a simple breakdown with analogies.
Get a Hint: Need a nudge? Get a logic hint without spoiling the code.
Review My Code: Have an error? The AI will trace your code and pinpoint the exact logic flaw.
Practice Interview: Switch to practice mode, click the mic, and explain your solution out loud!
