ChatGPT(or other LLM) to handle latest version of nRF Connect SDK

ChatGPT and other LLM are far from perfect but still great tools to have, both writing new code and to get help/ ideas on how to debug issues. But I find the information cut of date to be very annoying. Current available models (mar 2025) cut of date is around ver 2.4, so anything that has been changed or added after that is mostly unknown to the models. Some have web search built in but it seem that the models prefer to answer based on knowledge more that searching the web. Nordic do lots of changes and updates between versions so having a ChatGPT that can answer questions on latest version would have been great. Or even having "chat versions" for each SDK version.

I see that there are lots of "Explain Code" buttons in the documentation so using LLM is clearly not a new idea. But having a prompt on a web page or Copilot style integration into VS Code with a model that knows correct version of the API would help a lot.

Is anything like this available or planed for? And question to the community, have anyone else figured out a way to solve this in a nice way? The SDK is big, so it needs to be able to handle lots of added "knowledge".

  • while it doesnt plug into the sdk like other vscode extensions,  I've been really shocked at how useful the little nordic semiconductor AI is at the bottom of this page.  - I'm preeetty sure that it uses the most up to date info and documentation.. maybe just hardware.   I feel like it's probably the best use-case of AI I've seen implemented.  using the information of thousands of pages of well documented capabilities and an internal knowledge of EE, it can really hep with some complex topics with really niche details of the nrf chips. 

    I think if they arnt already working on it it's a no brainier to implement this same AI into the programming environment.  1000% support that effort.  it's like having a nordic engineer on hand at all times.
