For years, IDEs (Integrated Development Environment) have tried to make development quicker by predicting the next part of a developer’s code. Now, startups&nbsp;like are using AI to help developers with code completion on any code editor.[Read: ]The Israel-based startup was found in 2015 by&nbsp;Dror Weiss and&nbsp;Eran Yahav. Codota’s free-to-use&nbsp;autocomplete plug-in supports major languages such as Java, Python, Javascript, PHP, and Rust across major IDEs such as Eclipse and Android Studio.He added that the model is tuned to your needs and your development environment:Codota’s model can be different for each developer, suited to their needs and their development environment. It is able to predict pontentially long completions for you that would have high likelyhood of appearing in your application.This is different from when a code completed tool predicts common methods of completing that piece of code. For instance, if you’re building a class for students, Codota’s AI will suggest name and ID variable along with constructor for the class.&nbsp;Last year, Codota acquired ,&nbsp;one of the most popular&nbsp;&nbsp;code-completion tools around. Tabnine’s algorithm&nbsp;is based on&nbsp;The company is now in the process of merging the underlying AI of both auto-completers.&nbsp;For its next steps, the company wants to allow developers to impart their knowledge to AI for specialized cases. For instance, if you’re using an API, AI will suggest you the right way to use it.Codota is not the only AI-powered auto-completing tool that’s well-received by programmers. , a primarily Python-based auto-completer tool has more than 250,000 users.&nbsp;The company recently &nbsp;and it plans to add support for more languages soon.Adam Smith, Kite’s co-founder, is buoyant about AI’s role in programming. He said that he can imagine a future where every development environment uses machine learning for code-completion and provides assistance to the programmer so they can focus more on problem-solving.Read next:Read our on how the tech industry is responding to the coronavirus and subscribe to our weekly newsletter .For tips and tricks on working remotely, check out our Growth Quarters articles or follow us on .Join over 260,000 subscribers!Sit back and let the hottest tech news come to you by the magic of electronic mail.Prefer to get the news as it happens?
