Early to Rise, an Application powered by LLM and is inspired by the idea that what is the one thing that can change the entire routine life of a person who wants to transform his life and achieve maximum productivity in the year 2025 as a new beginning
As an established professional and a researcher, It is empirical to observe that the teenagers and college students fall prey to late night sleeping due to various engagements such as screen time and etc.
Therefore, as I reflect what is the lost treasure of this generation compared to our forefathers who were very healthy and stayed physically fit, I understand that they lived up to the philosophy
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.
Personally, I strongly believe that Early to Rise is one such an exceptional quality and attitude that has the potential to organize one's entire life on daily basis. It cuts down productivity wastes and promotes early to sleep as well.
So, here I come up with the underlying idea that the Early to Rise Application will provide the user a daily productivity suggestion based on multiple conditions which the user must complete in the particular day itself.
In order to ensure the versatility and accommodate individual circumstances,
The app provides 3 unique options that the user can choose that best fit one's own preferences.
As such, the App has 3 key options. Namely;
Features of the App
Time Duration
Here, Using this option the user can select his preferred time period for the App to provide suggestion for.
It has 4 different time preferences such as 5-Minutes, 15-Minutes, 30-Minutes and 1-Hour
User's Context
Using this context, the user can pick a context which would best suit the user's contextual preferences for the suggestion.
It has 3 contexts such as General, Religious and Culture.
User's Physical Condition
This option ensures the App should take the user's physical condition into consideration when providing a daily productivity habit surrounding the philosophy of Early to Rise.
Therefore, it has 3 levels of user's physical condition such as Strong, Moderate and Weak. This allows the users to choose which best describes the user's physical condition.

Powered by AI: Leverages OpenAI's GPT models to dynamically suggest productivity tips and habits.
This is the most interesting area of my exploration throughout this tiny yet powerful Copilot assisted App development - Early to Rise.
As I recall my Master's thesis specializing in AI particularly in NLP, I developed a custom python IDE to take voice input and transform it as syntactically correct python source code utilizing transformer architecture. I knew the pain of training a model to achieve at least 1% syntactically correct source code from nuanced human languages.
So, I am aware about the limitations and research gaps in this domain yet, AI is so advancing in such a pace one cannot keep track of. So, I was surprised to realize the potential of this Copilot powered Visual Studio Code IDE. It has the potential to transform the entire App development from concept to production eliminating several hundreds of hours of manual work.
Let me summarize my approach and experience of utilizing this amazing Github Copilot integrated Visual Studio Code which now is like a GE9X Engine powered Aircraft to carry the development burden into fun.
1. Auto Code Suggestions
Copilot provided me context-aware code suggestions. As I typed, copilot provided single-line to multi-line code suggestions and completions easing the burden of typing the entire length of code from my memory. Now all we have to do is to initiate and Copilot would take care the rest to complete.
I utilized this code suggestion feature in multiple instanced which saved considerable time and eliminated typo errors as much as possible
2. Model Switching
Another cool feature of Copilot Integrated VS Code is that we have the opportunity to switch between different LLMs. As we are aware that each models are leading in different benchmarks in performing different tasks. As per the trial version, it provides the options to switch intelligence between GPT 4o and Claude 3.5 Sonnet (Preview). I could switch in between for different tasks. For general intelligence, GPT 4o provides excellent assistance while for some tricky code fixing, Claude 3.5 Sonnet provides accurate suggestions. I must note that I heavily relied on GPT 4o throughout the completion of this project.
3. Copilot has complete control over our Workspace
In one way, I felt Copilot integration with VS Code is like a powerful coding agent taking complete control of my development IDE. It typically could do all the tasks you would do as a developer in your IDE.
I prompted it to create a project specific copilot instructions in copilot-instructions.md file and it could do that in couple of seconds which literally required no manual edits. It set the tone for my app development keeping it simple and very specific.
4. Yes. It could write a complete unit test case
How relief are we to know that the App we developed is tested and fault tolerant in a matter of few seconds or minutes?
I prompted Copilot to generate test cases suitable for my application and it did perfectly taking all the application parameters into consideration.
I also want to say, you are given the option to accept or reject the code suggestion giving us the freedom to determine prior to directly implementing the generated code.
5. Stay Focused - We need not to go outside of VS Code to reference any syntax
It is inevitable even for an experienced developer to search online for any syntax related references and documentation. Copilot integrated VS Code provides the coolest feature that it does what we want within the VS Code itself. It not only saves time but also eliminates distraction as we happen to face when we browse internet.
Ctrl + I is the new rescuer in our mission to complete an application. Select the code and press Ctrl + I in VS Code. We are prompted a single line Ask Copilot dialog box as shown below
Then we can provide our prompts and get the response. Now we can confidently feel that VS Code is exceptional in understanding Natural Languages over Programming Languages bridging the gap between this two conflicting form of usages across Application.
I personally love this feature. As I mentioned earlier, it can save valuable time and keep us focused in building our application without fall prey to internet distractions.
6. Documentation is one click away now
Majority of the developers hate writing. They don't want to write documentation. Now, with Copilot integration Documentation is not a headache anymore to those who hate writing documentation.
Since Copilot has the complete Workspace access, it generates well crafted beautiful documentation for the application which could literally save several human hours required to write detailed documentation.
Hence, to sum of my overall excitement and experience using Copilot in VS Code,
Using GitHub Copilot has been a transformative experience, enabling me to accelerate the development process and unlock creative solutions effortlessly. While building the Early to Rise productivity app, Copilot seamlessly generated boilerplate code, suggested efficient solutions for API integration, and helped craft complex logic for daily habit suggestions with minimum effort.
Surprisingly, Its contextual awareness of my project allowed for cohesive, multi-file understanding, ensuring consistency in design and functionality. Additionally, Copilot’s ability to generate test cases and provide natural language-driven coding suggestions reduced debugging time, while ensuring an efficient and innovative workflow.
This LLM powered assistant not only enhanced my productivity but also served as an invaluable learning companion throughout the project.
I am sure that this Copilot powered Visual Studio Code is going to sustain as the top development IDE across the globe.
I am confident to say that new beginnings is not only for my app users, but for the entire community of coders across the globe with Github Copilot Integrated VS Code
GitHub Models
Wait. The treat hasn't over yet. The Ecosystem is not perfect without integrating GitHub Models. Though this project didn't directly utilize GitHub Models, I utilized GitHub Model to explore App feature suggestions using Llama-3.2-11B-Vision-Instruct - the Open source LLM from Meta.
During the development process of Early to Rise App, my entire focus was on experimenting what this Ecosystem (GitHub models and Copilot Integration) has to offer.
I primarily utilized GitHub Models to brainstorm and experiment various features. GitHub Copilot integrated with hundreds of AI models from different vendors, provided complete freedom to explore and extend application's capability while eliminating several hours of human effort.
GitHub model provided me the OpenAI's API implementation in python specific to Early to Rise app requirements which simplified my development burden.
Therefore, I am confident to say that learning how to work with ecosystem will cut down our development time at least by 30% while giving us the productivity boost at least by 2-3 times.
What would limit you now is your limitation to creativity
Conclusion
