Tabnine
The privacy-first coding assistant for regulated teams.
About
Tabnine is an AI coding assistant designed for organisations that need tight control over where code goes and which models can see it. It provides completions, chat and agent workflows inside major editors, with deployment options ranging from cloud hosting to private and fully air-gapped setups. Its main selling point is not raw agent power, but trust, governance and compliance for teams handling sensitive code.
Key features
- Inline and multi-line code completions inside major editors, including VS Code and JetBrains tools
- In-editor AI chat for explanations, refactoring, test generation and debugging help
- Agent workflows and a terminal CLI on higher plans for larger development tasks
- An enterprise context engine that connects repositories and internal documentation
- Flexible deployment as a cloud service, in a private cloud, on premises or fully air-gapped
- Zero code retention policies and controls over model access, permissions and usage
- Central governance with single sign-on, auditability and analytics for engineering teams

Limitations to know
AI code suggestions can be wrong, insecure, or outdated, and suggestions can be weaker on complex or niche tasks. Human review and testing are still required before shipping code.
