Code Explainer: paste code → plain-English explanation + line-by-line
Paste any code snippet, pick an audience (junior dev, PM, or future self), get an overview plus a line-by-line breakdown. Two-pass detect-then-explain pipeline.
Live demo, in your browser.
Test the wrapper before you download. The free default routes through qwen2.5:3b running on our VPS (free, slower). Want to test with your own Claude / OpenAI key or your own Ollama URL? Use the "Bring your own model" panel below the demo. The downloaded code lets you swap providers freely.
Code + guide + samples. Everything to ship in 30 minutes.

Because the wrapper is the part you keep.
Most AI starter kits hardcode Claude and call it a day. That puts you on a recurring bill for every demo, every test, every customer. The wrapper here ships with the working Claude path AND the free open-source path side-by-side. Use the paid API in production if you want the convenience. Switch to Llama for development, testing, or cost-sensitive deployments. Same code, different endpoint.
The guide walks through the swap in layman language — no ML jargon, no assumed familiarity with vector databases or quantization. If you can run npm install or pip install, you can follow it.
