Type less, code more: Cody is an AI code assistant that uses advanced search and codebase context to help you write and fix code.

Quick Overview

TabNine for Visual Studio Code is an AI-powered code completion tool that uses machine learning to provide intelligent code suggestions. It aims to boost developer productivity by predicting and offering relevant code completions based on the context of what you're writing.

Pros

Offers highly accurate and context-aware code completions
Supports multiple programming languages and frameworks
Learns from your coding style and project-specific patterns
Integrates seamlessly with Visual Studio Code

Cons

May have a slight impact on editor performance, especially on older machines
Requires an internet connection for optimal functionality
Some users may have privacy concerns due to code being sent to TabNine servers
Free version has limitations compared to the paid plans

Getting Started

Open Visual Studio Code
Go to the Extensions view (Ctrl+Shift+X)
Search for "TabNine"
Click "Install" on the TabNine extension
Once installed, restart VS Code
Start coding, and TabNine will automatically provide suggestions

TabNine will now offer AI-powered code completions as you type. You can customize its behavior in the extension settings if needed.

Documentation for GitHub Copilot

Pros of Copilot-docs

More comprehensive AI-powered code completion, offering full-line and multi-line suggestions
Seamless integration with GitHub's ecosystem and services
Trained on a vast array of public code repositories, potentially offering more diverse suggestions

Cons of Copilot-docs

Requires a paid subscription after the trial period
May raise privacy concerns due to its cloud-based nature and data usage
Limited customization options compared to TabNine

Code Comparison

TabNine (local model):

def calculate_average(numbers):
    total = sum(numbers)
    return total / len(numbers)

Copilot:

def calculate_average(numbers):
    if not numbers:
        return 0
    return sum(numbers) / len(numbers)

In this example, Copilot's suggestion includes a check for empty input, demonstrating its ability to anticipate potential edge cases.

Additional Notes

TabNine offers both cloud-based and local AI models, providing more flexibility for users concerned about data privacy. It also supports a wider range of IDEs and text editors.

Copilot, being developed by GitHub (owned by Microsoft), may have better long-term support and integration with popular development tools and platforms.

Both tools aim to increase developer productivity through AI-assisted coding, but their approaches and strengths differ, catering to different user preferences and needs.

Type less, code more: Cody is an AI code assistant that uses advanced search and codebase context to help you write and fix code.

Pros of Cody

Integrates with Sourcegraph's powerful code intelligence platform
Offers advanced code navigation and search capabilities
Provides more comprehensive code understanding across multiple repositories

Cons of Cody

May have a steeper learning curve due to its broader feature set
Could be more resource-intensive, potentially impacting performance on lower-end machines
Might be overkill for developers working on smaller, single-repository projects

Code Comparison

TabNine (JavaScript):

function calculateTotal(items) {
  return items.reduce((total, item) => total + item.price, 0);
}

Cody (JavaScript):

function calculateTotal(items) {
  let total = 0;
  for (const item of items) {
    total += item.price;
  }
  return total;
}

Both examples achieve the same result, but Cody's suggestion might be more readable for beginners or in codebases that prefer explicit loops over functional programming constructs.

Boost developer productivity with AI-powered chat and code completions

Tabnine offers best-in-class AI code completion and an AI-powered chat that increases productivity and accelerates the entire software development lifecycle.

Hereâs what you can do with Tabnine:

Plan: Ask Tabnine general coding questions or learn how things work in your specific project and get solutions and references relevant to your workspace.

plan

Create: Generate new code using natural language. As you continue coding, Tabnine provides inline code completions, offering real-time, context-aware suggestions that seamlessly blend with your coding style.

create

Test: Ask Tabnine to create tests for a specific function or code in your project, and get back the actual test cases, implementation, and assertion. Tabnine can also use existing tests in your project and suggest tests that align with your projectâs testing framework.

test

Fix: When tests fail, you can select code with an error and ask Tabnine for recommendations on how to fix it.

fix

Document: Generate documentation for specific sections of your code to enhance readability and make it easy for other team members to understand.
