The big idea
TypeScript types take forever to learn. AI writes accurate types from your data, fixes 'any' for you, and even explains generics in plain English.
Some examples
- Paste a JSON object and ask AI for the matching TypeScript interface.
- Ask AI to convert a JS function to TS with full types.
- Get AI to explain what <T extends Record<string, unknown>> means.
- Ask AI to fix a 'Type X is not assignable to Y' error.
Try it!
Find any .js file in your project. Paste a function into ChatGPT and ask for a fully-typed TypeScript version. Compare to your original.
