Tabnine, an AI code completion assistant, now gives developers long snippet suggestions and focused line code completions directly in Visual Studio Code or IntelliJ Idea IDEs.
In line with its mission to automate the more mundane and repetitive parts of programming, Tabnine has expanded its AI assistant to cover 11
programming languages, with support for languages such as Python, JavaScript and Java, according to a company press release.
In addition, Tabnine announced today that it has raised an additional $15.5 million in funding from investors including Qualcomm, Samsung Next Ventures and TPY Capital, bringing the company’s total funding to date to $32 million. The infusion of funds will be used to add support for additional AI models and programming languages later this year, the company said.
Autocomplete solutions such as Tabnine reuse an organization’s common coding patterns to reduce unnecessary developer toil, said Jason English, analyst at Intellyx. Applied AI use cases are already present within the software industry for accelerating high-speed data enrichment, code refactoring and process automation, so it is no surprise to see AI advancing into the developer’s IDE, he said.
