In a humorous exploration of tech innovation, a developer team created a VSCode chat extension designed to order cheeseburgers via Grubhub, despite the absence of a public API for food ordering. The process involved reverse engineering Grubhub's API using Chrome Dev Tools and Postman Interceptor to intercept requests, which led to the accidental ordering of a cheeseburger. The project illustrates the steps of building a VSCode extension, including using TypeScript to access APIs and utilizing JSON schemas for function calling. The blog post highlights the challenges of making APIs user-friendly for AI agents and underscores the importance of workflows in creating a smooth user experience. The developers acknowledge the complexity of maintaining such an extension and suggest using tools like Layer to simplify API interactions for AI agents.
