How Conversation to Code works

Freddy AI Copilot has stored the Freshworks platform context, its capabilities, best practices and has implemented a pipeline that allows it to generate code and respond to development queries grounded in platform context.

Freddy AI processes your query by:

  • Understanding intent and attached code context
  • Retrieving relevant Freshworks platform knowledge as per the query
  • Generating code and response grounded in Freshworks platform knowledge

How to use

Follow these steps to use Conversation to Code effectively:

  1. Create a prompt describing your question
  2. Include relevant code & error messages in the prompt for context
  3. Review the response. If not satisfactory, refine the prompt and ask again
  4. Apply the code by copying, inserting or saving code to a new file
  5. Provide feedback (thumbs up/down or report issue) to help improve the copilot
Info

Tips for better responses:

  • Include error messages and relevant code snippets as context in the prompt
  • Be specific about what you're trying to accomplish
  • For complex issues, break them down into smaller, focused questions
