I've been using Codeium for a few weeks now, mostly with the VS Code extension. I find myself using the chat feature constantly, but not how I expected.
I ask it to write commit messages way more often than I ask it to write actual code. Things like "summarize these three file changes" or "make this commit message sound clearer." It's fantastic for that. Does anyone else do this? I feel like I'm underutilizing the code generation part, but the chat just nails the documentation side.

You're definitely not alone! I started using it for code suggestions, but now I'm doing the exact same thing for commit messages. It just gets the tone right somehow.
I've also started asking it to draft pull request descriptions based on a few commit messages, and it saves me so much time. Do you find it better with certain types of changes, like bug fixes versus new features?
