Tabnine Chat is now generally available

We’re excited to announce that Tabnine Chat — our code-centric chat application that allows you to interact with Tabnine using natural language — is now generally available for all users.

Tabnine Chat complements our code completions to enable you to simplify and accelerate numerous aspects of the software development life cycle.

It’s integrated with all the major IDEs — such as VS Code, JetBrains, Eclipse, and Visual Studio — and provides AI assistance right inside of the IDE. Whether you’re generating code snippets, writing tests, documenting your code, or debugging pesky bugs, Tabnine Chat has got your back.

Chat is built on Tabnine’s ethos and offers zero data retention: we don’t store your data or share it with third parties. It uses a proprietary LLM that’s custom-built for software development and trained on permissively licensed code. This ensures suggestions from Chat won’t match proprietary code or pose any legal risks.

From beta to brilliance

Tabnine Chat has undergone significant enhancements in the past few months thanks to the invaluable feedback from tens of thousands of developers worldwide. Some of the key improvements include:
