AI code prediction software gets boost

Israeli AI software outfit Codota acquired code prediction tool outfit TabNine which means it can create an AI platform for software authoring for nearly all popular programming languages - Java, JavaScript, Python, C, HTML as well as many others.

Codota’s platform is used by developers every month and the number is doubling every few months.

TabNine was founded and is run by Jacob Jackson, a 22 year old computer science graduate from the University of Waterloo in Canada and a recipient of the IOI gold medals in 2014 and 2015. TabNine's AI-driven code autocomplete product won huge praise from its users. TabNine supports over 23 programming languages across five code editors (“IDEs”).

Applications like Codota and TabNine automatically provide developers with AI-driven code predictions within their native environment, it's claimed. The two companies already, it's said, correctly predict a quarter of the code written by users and with the acquisition, this percentage is expected to further increase.

The TabNine product will continue to operate independently, and the combined technological stack will be used to power both products. Codota already offers an initial combined code prediction for Javascript on WebStorm and IntelliJ IDEs in beta.
