Tabnine

Privacy-first AI coding assistant focused on enterprises: personalized completions trained on your repositories, with air-gapped and self-hosted deployment options.

Product preview

Overview

Tabnine is the privacy-first AI coding assistant: personalized completions trained on your team's repositories, deployable fully self-hosted or air-gapped, with a strict no-code-retention policy. It was one of the earliest AI completion tools — older than Copilot — and has sharpened its enterprise focus ever since.

It will not out-generate frontier chat models on creative coding, but for organizations where code must never leave the building, Tabnine's combination of personalized suggestions, private deployment and auditability is the point.
