Question 1

Is my code sent to your servers?

Accepted Answer

Only the error message and the relevant code snippet around it. Your full codebase stays on your machine — indexing runs locally inside VS Code.

Question 2

How is this different from ChatGPT?

Accepted Answer

ChatGPT only knows what you paste. DebugAI pre-indexes your entire project — file structure, imports, call chains. It traces errors across files automatically. No architecture explanations needed.

Question 3

What languages and frameworks does DebugAI support?

Accepted Answer

Python (FastAPI, Django, Flask, Streamlit, PyTorch) and JavaScript/TypeScript (React, Next.js, Express, Node.js, Vite). More added based on user feedback.

Question 4

Is DebugAI actually free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. 10 debug sessions per day on the free tier, forever. During beta all features are included. No credit card required.

Question 5

Will DebugAI overwrite my code without asking?

Accepted Answer

Never. Every fix shows a full diff before anything is applied. After applying you have 30 seconds to undo with a single click.

Question 6

Does DebugAI work with Cursor or Windsurf?

Accepted Answer

Yes. DebugAI is a standard VS Code extension and works in any VS Code-compatible editor including Cursor and Windsurf.

Question 7

How long does DebugAI setup take?

Accepted Answer

About 10 seconds. Install from the VS Code Marketplace, get an API key from the dashboard, and you are ready. No config files, no Docker, no build steps.
