Learning new programming skills requires tailored guidance. With theemergence of advanced Natural Language Generation models like the ChatGPT API,there is now a possibility of creating a convenient and personalized tutoringsystem with AI for computer science education. This paper presents GPTutor, aChatGPT-powered programming tool, which is a Visual Studio Code extension usingthe ChatGPT API to provide programming code explanations. By integrating VisualStudio Code API, GPTutor can comprehensively analyze the provided code byreferencing the relevant source codes. As a result, GPTutor can use designedprompts to explain the selected code with a pop-up message. GPTutor is nowpublished at the Visual Studio Code Extension Marketplace, and its source codeis openly accessible on GitHub. Preliminary evaluation indicates that GPTutordelivers the most concise and accurate explanations compared to vanilla ChatGPTand GitHub Copilot. Moreover, the feedback from students and teachers indicatedthat GPTutor is user-friendly and can explain given codes satisfactorily.Finally, we discuss possible future research directions for GPTutor. Thisincludes enhancing its performance and personalization via further promptprogramming, as well as evaluating the effectiveness of GPTutor with realusers.
