My only reason for not using phind is next 13. I use it for express and node js. But in the new app router it hasn't read the documentation and can't provide me with answers. In contentlayer with next it gave me a solution full of hallucinations and I spent a couple of hours implementing the solution it gave but later on I found that the issue was brand new due to new update.

An AI that says i don't know would be my next feature ask and that says using bing or something else with this search query. That would give me the peace of mind of not crosschecking to google too. But love it.

Please add support for jet brains/webstorm. I don't really use VS code.



pro tip, ask it to tell you something about next13 for the actual link, like can you verify that is the latest from nextjs.com? it doesn't always seem to do a search of it doesn't need to, if you explicitly ask it to first it will.

for example if you ask it give you lyrics in the style of x song, it will fail miserably but if you ask it what are the lyrics for x song then ask for similar lyrics it has the context. the key is making sure it has the context.

if you have an exact page to docs you want help with that's even better. sure it's an extra step but it's worth the time it saves you from reading and looking for examples elsewhere etc...

also I think some of the quality drop is on openai, their product has degraded some since May.


That's odd -- Phind should have done a search for next 13 and have gotten relevant docs. Do you mind pasting the link to that query or emailing me at michael@phind.com?


I have same issue with ChatGPT. Since it hasn't indexed anything post Sept 2021, I keep getting this message,

> As of my last update in September 2021, Next.js 13.0 has not been released yet. However, I can provide you an example of implementing authentication using the Next.js app router approach based on the information available at that time. Keep in mind that the actual implementation may differ in later versions of Next.js.

Does Phind do something special to get around this?


Yes, Phind is connected to the internet and can do web searches to get up-to-date information. For example, here's me asking about what's new in nextjs 13: https://www.phind.com/agent?cache=cll15y99k002fjo08ijfbedeo


That’s pretty neat, but can it answer with code suggestions with nextjs 13?

It didn’t work for me - https://www.phind.com/agent?cache=cll1y7pwf005vmh08j2zfyead
