Recently, Microsoft has announced the availability of Preview of Visual Studio IntelliCode in its Build 2018 developer’s conference. This is a new experimental tool for Visual Studio users bringing more of the company’s artificial intelligence smart to software development.
It is a set of AI-assisted capabilities which improves the developer’s productivity with features like contextual, IntelliSense and focused reviews for pull requests.
The company states -
“The IntelliCode extension augments productivity features in Visual Studio 2017 with insights based on understanding your code combined with machine learning. The first iteration of this extension enhances your IntelliSense experience by sorting completion items—which are recommended in your code context--to the top of the list.”
According to the company, IntelliCode is now applicable only for C# code but in future, it will be upgraded to support more languages.
