2. Cody AI: Advanced Code Assistant
Cody AI accelerates our process of writing code.



If you’re not using an AI coding assistant, you’re being left behind. (And if you’re still using GitHub Copilot, that’s probably still true!) They save time, and can help you out in all kinds of ways from suggesting code to automatically generating entire files through their natural language processing capabilities, and more.

This list has a few AI coding assistants and Cody is the first. By deeply analyzing your existing code, documentation, and code graph, Cody can give you speedy and insightful responses to queries about your codebase. 

Key features

Search and analyse your codebase with natural language prompts
Precise code navigation 
Language translation for code
Detailed code analysis and debugging assistance

3. Tabnine: Established Code Assistant
Tabnine is a reliable, security-conscious AI code assistant that it’s easier to get approval for.

Now built on GPT-3.5 and having evolved over five years, Tabnine is transparent, compliant, and offers a plethora of valuable features to help us devs write code faster.

Because it’s been knocking around for a while, they’ve had time to deliver strong, trustworthy security and compliance credentials that your managers will be reassured by.

Key features

Reliable and secure coding assistance
Comprehensive training data transparency
Local out-of-the-box execution
Try it free? Yes, but it’s very limited – you just get short code completions. Whole-line and function completions are available for $12/mo/user at the time of writing.
