Rix Chat is an exceptional AI-powered search and coding assistant created exclusively for developers. With its versatility and user-friendly interface, Rix Chat is designed to enhance your coding experience. Best of all, Rix Chat is completely free, providing you with invaluable support and assistance throughout your development journey.

## How does it work

To get started go to Rix.chat and sign in, then go to the search bar, there are three search modes: 

* Web Search: Browses the internet and returns a detailed response quoting the websites where it has extracted the information from, useful when looking for a short explanation  about a very complex topic along side the code

* Quick reply: retrieves information from previous answers he's given other users for the same prompt

* Code Writing: Writes code along side by a step by step explanation of what the code does.

## Why use Rix.chat intead of ChatGPT

* Rix.Chat is trained on a large dataset of code-related content, including programming languages, frameworks, and libraries. This specialized training enables it to have a deeper understanding of code syntax, structure, and common coding patterns. 

* It can provide more accurate and contextually relevant code suggestions.

* Rix.Chat's training includes knowledge about coding best practices and common programming pitfalls helping you write cleaner and more efficient code. 

* ChatGPT writes code that is not necessarily efficient or error free since it's a more general purpose AI.

## How to write prompts effectively

1. Specify the Task or Objective:
   - Start by clearly stating the task or objective you want assistance with. For example, "Write a Python function to calculate the factorial of a number."

2. Provide Context:
   - Give any necessary context or constraints related to the task. For example, "The function should handle positive integers and return the factorial value."

3. Ask Direct Questions:
   - Pose direct questions to prompt specific responses. For example, "What is the syntax to open a file in Python?" or "How can I sort an array in descending order using JavaScript?"

4. Use Placeholder Values:
   - If you need to reference specific values or variables in your prompt, use placeholders. For example, "Calculate the sum of {num1} and {num2}."

5. Be Specific:
   - Be as specific as possible when asking for code examples or explanations. Specify the programming language, relevant libraries or frameworks, and any specific requirements.

6. Break Down Complex Tasks:
   - If the task is complex or multi-step, break it down into smaller sub-tasks. Ask for guidance or code suggestions for each sub-task to make the problem more manageable.

7. Use each search mode accordingly 
   - Choose between Search mode or code writing mode depending on your knowledge and the complexity of the code.
