Publication number: 20240311271Abstract: Apparatuses, systems and methods are provided for checking code for errors. The apparatuses, systems and methods may send a target code and a prompt for code checking to a machine learning (ML) chatbot to cause the ML chatbot to check the target code for errors. The apparatuses, systems and methods may determine whether there is an error in the target code based at least partially on a response from the ML chatbot. The apparatuses, systems and methods may, responsive to determining that there is an error in the target code, determine, via an interaction with the ML chatbot, a solution to fix the error. The apparatuses, systems and methods may analyze the solution to determine a number of at least one of (i) a set of steps or (ii) a set of interactions required by the solution. The apparatuses, systems and methods may, responsive to determining that the number exceeds a predetermined threshold, fix the error by implementing the solution with respect to the target code.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 6, 2023Publication date: September 19, 2024Inventors: Brian Mark Fields, Nathan L.
