AI tools inside VS Code have gone way way beyond simple autocompletion.
Today you can chat with an assistant, get multi-file edits, generate tests, and even run commands straight from natural language prompts.
These are the very best AI coding extensions that will transform how you develop software forever.
1. Gemini Code Assist
Google’s Gemini Code Assist brings the Gemini model into VS Code. It stands out for its documentation awareness and Google ecosystem ties.
Why it’s great:
Answers come with citations so you can see which docs were referenced.
It can do code reviews, generate unit tests, and help debug.
Works across app code and infrastructure (think Terraform, gcloud CLI, etc.).
Great for: Anyone working heavily in Google Cloud, Firebase, or Android, or who values transparent, sourced answers.
2. GitHub Copilot
GitHub Copilot is the “classic” AI coding assistant — but it’s evolved far beyond just inline suggestions. With the main Copilot extension and Copilot Chat, you get a fully integrated agent inside VS Code.
Just see how easy it is:
Why it’s great:
Agent and Edit modes let Copilot actually implement tasks across your files and iterate until the code works.
Next Edit Suggestions predict your next likely change and can propose it automatically.
Workspace-aware chat lets you ask questions about your codebase, apply edits inline, or run slash commands for refactoring.
Great for: Developers who want deep VS Code integration and a polished, “just works” AI experience.
3. Tabnine
Tabnine is all about privacy, control, and customization. It offers a fast AI coding experience without sending your proprietary code to third parties.
Look how we use it rapidly create tests for our code:
Effortless code replacement:
Why it’s great:
Privacy first: can run self-hosted or in your VPC, and it doesn’t train on your code.
Custom models: enterprises can train Tabnine on their own codebases.
Versatile assistant: generates, explains, and refactors code and tests across many languages.
Great for: Teams with strict data policies or anyone who wants an AI coding assistant they can fully control.
How 433 Investors Unlocked 400X Return Potential
Institutional investors back startups to unlock outsized returns. Regular investors have to wait. But not anymore. Thanks to regulatory updates, some companies are doing things differently.
Take Revolut. In 2016, 433 regular people invested an average of $2,730. Today? They got a 400X buyout offer from the company, as Revolut’s valuation increased 89,900% in the same timeframe.
Founded by a former Zillow exec, Pacaso’s co-ownership tech reshapes the $1.3T vacation home market. They’ve earned $110M+ in gross profit to date, including 41% YoY growth in 2024 alone. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.
The same institutional investors behind Uber, Venmo, and eBay backed Pacaso. And you can join them. But not for long. Pacaso’s investment opportunity ends September 18.
