Code Explain AI Assistant

Client: Anastasia Stulova, Nvidia <stulovaa@gmail.com>

Large-scale software development projects are often developed by multiple contributors. In certain open-source projects, such as compilers, operating systems or many HPC workloads, developers are frequently located in different parts of the world and are affiliated with various institutions. As a result, these developers may have limited opportunities for direct interaction and must understand code written by others without being able to easily discuss or ask questions to the original authors. Your task is to utilize modern AI technology, particularly large language models (LLMs), to develop a Code Explain AI Assistant. This tool should be capable of providing explanations of specific portions of code, generating helpful code comments, and even answering more advanced queries to help developers navigate and understand the codebase. The tool's applicability can be demonstrated with popular open-source weather or climate codes, such as FV3 or CLOUDSC.
