ChatDBG integrates large language models with traditional debugging tools to create an AI-powered assistant that allows programmers to debug through natural language conversation.

• Conversational debugging enables developers to ask complex questions about program state and perform root cause analysis
• Works seamlessly with standard tools like LLDB, GDB, and Pdb
• Transforms debugging from manual variable inspection to intuitive dialogue
• Significantly enhances productivity by providing deeper insights with less effort

This research matters because debugging consumes up to 50% of development time. ChatDBG's approach has the potential to dramatically reduce this burden while making debugging more accessible to engineers at all experience levels.
