For me, AI meeting summaries are pretty useful. The only way I see they're not useful for you is that you're disciplined enough to write down a plan based on the meeting subject.

I tend to agree. Except if it's text generated by me for me.

I don't want you to send me a AI-generated summary of anything, but if I initiated it looking for answers, then it's much more helpful.

I'm not doing this much now, but this AI-generated text might be more useful if you use AI to ask questions using it as a source.

That's fair! If there were a "minimal" mode where you could still access callers, data flows, and dependencies with no AI text, would it be helpful for your reviews?

Not parent, but in my opinion the answer here is yes. I agree that there is a real need here and a potentially solid value proposition (which is not the case with a lot of vscode-fork+LLM-based starups) but the whole point should be to combat the verbosity and featurelessness of LLM-generated code and text. Using an LLM on the backend to discover meaningful connections in the codebase may sometimes be the right call but the output of that analysis should be some simple visual indication of control flow or dependency like you mention. At a first look the output in the editor looks more like an expansion rather than a distillation.

Unrelated, but I don't know why I expected the website and editor theme to be hay-yellow and or hay-yellow and black instead of the classic purple on black :)

Thanks for the opinion! That makes a lot of sense and I like the concept of being an extension of a user's own analysis vs hosing them with information.

Yeah originally I thought of using yellow/brown or yellow/black but for some reason I didn't like the color. Plenty of time to go back though!

honestly i feel the same way and i can't quite put into words why. I guess if I had to -- I think it's because I know not all AI generated stuff is equally created and that some people are terrible at prompting/or don't even proofread the stuff that's outputted, so I have this internal barometer that screams "you're likely wasting your time reading this" and so I just learned to avoid it entirely. Which is sad, because clearly now a ton of stuff is AI generated, so I barely read anything, _especially_ if I see any signals like "it's not just this, it's that"
