Nudge
About Nudge
Nudge is a Chrome extension designed to assist students and engineers preparing for coding interviews by providing real-time, adaptive feedback while solving LeetCode problems. It integrates directly into the coding environment on LeetCode, offering inline hints and approach feedback without revealing full solutions. The tool monitors progress and provides context-specific questions to guide problem-solving, such as asking about the recurrence relation in dynamic programming or identifying edge cases. Users can request hints, discuss their approach, or debug issues through a side panel, and share their code context by typing @code. Nudge adapts its feedback based on the user’s progress, whether they are planning, stuck, or nearly finished, ensuring the guidance remains relevant and minimally intrusive. The extension aims to reinforce understanding by encouraging users to derive solutions independently rather than copying answers.

Frequently asked questions about Nudge
What is Nudge and who is it designed for?
Nudge is a Chrome extension that acts as an AI coach for students and engineers preparing for coding interviews. It provides real-time, adaptive feedback while solving LeetCode problems to reinforce understanding without revealing full solutions.
How does Nudge provide feedback while solving problems?
Nudge integrates directly into the LeetCode coding environment, offering inline hints and approach feedback tailored to the user's progress. It adapts its guidance based on whether the user is planning, stuck, or nearly finished, ensuring relevance and minimal intrusion.
Can I share my code with Nudge for debugging or discussion?
Yes, users can share their code context by typing @code in the side panel, which allows Nudge to provide more specific feedback or help debug issues without exposing the code automatically.
What are the pricing options for Nudge?
Nudge offers a free tier with limited hints and a Pro tier for unlimited coaching and code sharing. The free tier allows guests to try a small number of hints, while signing in with an account unlocks additional free coaching.
How do I get started with Nudge?
Install the Chrome extension from the Nudge website, then open a LeetCode problem to begin receiving adaptive hints and feedback directly in the coding environment.
Does Nudge work on platforms other than LeetCode?
Nudge is designed to work directly on LeetCode and integrates with the LeetCode coding environment. It does not support other platforms at this time.
