Hey everyone, I would like to share an amazing productivity tool I have been using and I could say it made difference in the way I code.
TLDR;
Extention Name : Tabnine
VSCode Marketplace : Tabnine
Github Repo: Repo
Note: Tabnine is available for other code editors as well, do check out their website for more details
Post Overview:
- Overview
- Installing Tabnine
- Kite vs Tabnine
Overview
Honestly, I have been a productivity freak from a long time, I have tried many different extensions in vscode but recently I came across Tabnine which steals the show.
With such amazing improvements in the field of Artificial Intelligence, this is one of the product that uses AI to help developers.
Example suggestion made by Tabnine
Installing Tabnine
It's just installing the extension from vscode market place.
Kite vs Tabnine
Kite is another AI assistant which helps us code faster. Both Tabnine and Kite are doing a great job, here are few pointers which I found that would on using both for sometime.
Installtion
Installation of Kite is not as simple as Tabnine, because we have to install external application, create account and then install extention in our preferred text editor, there is an option which install extensions automatically in supported editors with a single click on the installed application.
JavaScript suggestions
Here say we want to add another <View>
element in the javascript
file, you can see how both of them are giving out suggestions. With kite you get two suggestions when you type <Vi
and with Tabnine you get five suggestions by typing <V
out of which couple of them actually detects the style I want to use.
Python suggestions
This is a django project, say I want to add a new attribute to a model
class. In kite we get couple of suggestions, but as a note I wanted to say is kite didn't suggest variable names, while Tabnine suggested variable names.
RAM usage
Both use almost same amount of RAM, these are snapshots taken when the same project folder is running in visual studio code.
The following screen captures are taken in Activity Monitor in Mac.
Hope you find this extension useful.
Peace ✌🏻,
Rohith Gilla.

what is the difference between intellicode and tabnine?
Nice question
So tabnine does more AI magic than vscode intellisense
Also tab nine has no limitations on the languages supported
I am asking for intellicode not intellisense. Intellicode is a vscode extension which suggests autocomplete with ai.
