CodeStral-Code-Assistant is a chatbot designed to assist users with code-related questions. It provides code solutions, including descriptions, programming language details, imports, functional code blocks, and sample input/output.

Developed with the software and tools below.

In the upcoming update, I am implementing a self-correcting code agent. This feature will allow the agent to self-execute and evaluate the code before presenting it to the user, ensuring higher accuracy and reliability.

I am also planning to update the Streamlit frontend to improve user experience and add new interactive features.
