What it does SolidGPT is a VSCode extension (plus a Python backend and web portal) that ingests your local codebase and, optionally, your Notion pages, then answers natural-language questions about them. You point it at a folder, it builds a searchable index, and you chat with it inside your editor. The project also warns, in all caps, that it has never issued cryptocurrency — a curiously specific disclaimer.

The interesting bit The Notion bridge is the less common half. Most code-chat tools stop at git ls-files; SolidGPT will also summarize sprint boards and tickets, so your “where is the auth logic?” query can pull from both src/auth/ and the product spec. Whether the integration is deep or just page-level search is unclear from the README.

Key highlights

• VSCode-native chat UI; no context switching to a browser.
• Codebase onboarding capped at ~500 files, with a soft recommendation to stay under 100.
• Optional Notion integration via API key and page permissions.
• Self-hostable: Python API + Node webapp if you prefer not to use the marketplace extension.
• Claims zero user data collection; relies on your own OpenAI API key.

Caveats

• Intel Mac users need to chmod -R 777 the extension directory — a blunt fix for a permission issue.
• The README is heavy on setup screenshots and light on architecture or embedding details; it is unclear whether indexing runs locally or sends file contents to OpenAI.
• “Suggest onboard lower than 100 files” implies performance or cost cliffs that are not quantified.

Verdict Worth a spin if you live in VSCode and Notion and want one search bar across both. Skip it if you need deep IDE integration beyond chat, or if your monorepo blows past the 500-file ceiling.
