Speed up writing clear and helpful code comments using AI in simple steps.
Writing clear comments for your code helps your teammates understand your work faster, but it can take time. This workflow uses AI to quickly create helpful comments so you can keep coding without long interruptions. Start by selecting a small part of your code that needs explanation. Then, ask AI to describe what that part does in plain language. Next, refine the explanation by asking AI to make it shorter or friendlier if needed. Finally, copy the polished comment into your code. This way, you spend only a few minutes per section, saving time while keeping your work easy to follow.
