Hacker's Toolkit: AI Assistants

Code Faster, Debug Smarter

Your AI-Powered Toolkit

Tool 1: Cursor

Your AI Pair Programmer

What it is: A code editor with AI built directly into it. It understands your entire codebase.

Key Feature: Highlight code and ask "What does this do?" or "Why is this crashing?". Or ask it to generate/refactor code in place.

LeRobot Use Case: Highlight a `lerobot.calibrate` command and ask:
`"Explain what each of these arguments does."`

Tool 2: ChatGPT & Gemini

Your Go-To for Debugging & Concepts

What they are: Powerful, general-purpose conversational AIs.

Key Feature: Excellent for explaining error messages, high-level concepts, and generating boilerplate code.

LeRobot Use Case: Paste a full `train.py` error and ask:
`"I got this error running a LeRobot training script. What is the most likely cause?"`

How to Get Good Answers

The Golden Rule: Provide Context

Bad Prompt

"My code is broken."

Good Prompt

"I'm running `lerobot.teleoperate` with this command: `...`. I get this full error: `...`. What should I check first?"

Don't trust blindly! Always test the code it gives you.
