chat.openapi.com is really amazing
Since everybody and his brother is talking about the new chat engine from openapi I had to try it myself, and lo and behold it is amazing.

dzDebugVisualizer source code available
Several years ago I wrote a Delphi IDE plugin to extend the functionality of the "Evaluate and Modify" dialog as well as the Watches window called dzDebugVisualizer and even released an update for it.
