From the famous GitHub Copilot to the powerful OpenAI Codex, and including Llama, CodeWhisperer, and Tabnine, here are 10 AI code generators for your web projects!
1) Copilot: GitHub's AI code generator
GitHub CopilotDeveloped in partnership with OpenAI, it quickly established itself as one of the most popular generative code AIs. Integrated into Visual Studio Code, it provides contextual suggestions, ready-to-use code snippets, and even full script authoring.
Copilot supports a multitude of programming languages, making it a go-to tool for versatile developers.
For individuals or freelancers, the price is $10 per month; for businesses, it’s $19 per user per month.
2) Llama 2: Meta's AI coding tool
Llama 2 , the generative code AI developed by Meta, offers powerful features for text generation and natural language processing. Built to compete with models like ChatGPT, Llama 2 stands out for its ability to produce fluent, coherent programming scripts in Python, thanks in part to pretraining on millions of computing-related data points.
Open source and free, this tool remains accessible to any developer looking to speed up and simplify the programming process.
3) OpenAI Codex: a generator based on GPT-3
OpenAI Codex is clearly one of the most powerful code generators on the market! Created by the company behind ChatGPT, the tool can understand natural language instructions and generate code accordingly.
Available via the OpenAI API, or as part of Azure AI Studio (which we discuss below), Codex supports a variety of programming languages: Python, JavaScript, Go, Perl, Ruby…
On the pricing side, the GPT-3–based code generator operates on a token model. You only pay for the resources you need.
4) CodeWhisperer: Amazon's code generator for developers
Developed by Amazon, CodeWhisperer it offers AI code generation features in many languages (C, C++, C#, Go, Java, JavaScript, Kotlin, PHP, Python…), as well as an integrated debugger. Contextual code suggestions help programmers avoid common mistakes and optimize their lines of code.
CodeWhisperer offers a free version for individual users.
5) DeepCode AI: the artificial intelligence that reviews code
With 25 million data streams, 11 supported languages and several AI models, DeepCode it is an essential tool for detecting code errors. This checker, powered by artificial intelligence, provides improvement suggestions through static analysis, which compares the code being written to a vast knowledge base and thus identifies potential issues.
DeepCode offers a limited free plan of 100 code tests per month. For unlimited tests, the plan is $52 per month.
6) Tabnine: the AI code autocompletion tool
Thanks to its powerful artificial intelligence, Tabnine it can automatically generate contextual code in real time, accelerating the development process and reducing typing errors. Developers using Java, Python, C++ or other popular languages can also receive precise recommendations drawn from a database containing millions of lines of code.
Its little extra: Tabnine personalizes its responses to match your coding style!
On pricing, Tabnine offers a free plan for freelancers and a $12 per month plan for businesses.

8) Codiga: AI as a coding assistant
Codiga is a collaborator that wants the best for you! The tool, based on artificial intelligence, integrates with several IDEs (VS Code, JetBrains and Visual Studio) and development platforms (GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket).
Additionally, Codiga provides real-time analysis and lets programmers use predefined rules (or create their own) for their codebase. Its intuitive user interface makes it accessible to developers of all levels.
Codiga offers a limited free tier, and a full plan at $14 per month.
9) Azure AI Studio: Microsoft's code generator
Azure AI StudioIt offers a range of tools useful to programming professionals, including an AI code generator. Microsoft’s platform aims to simplify the development of applications, infrastructures and AI-based solutions.
Assisted coding features and automated code suggestions are available to developers using Azure AI Studio.
10) AskCodi: the chatbot that assists developers
Ask and AskCodi it executes! This chatbot answers the questions of developers who want to improve, fix, or generate code.
Accessible through a user-friendly interface, this conversational agent is aimed at programming specialists who work with VBScript, Python, C, Rust, PowerShell, Java, C#, PHP, Mongo, Node.js… and many others!
AskCodi is available for free up to 50 credits per month.
Our tip for using AI in your code
When using AI code generators, keep one essential tip in mind: start with a clear, concise description of what you want to achieve. Then carefully review the options offered before integrating them into your app, site, or platform. Rereading and understanding what the artificial intelligence suggests remains the best way to improve and avoid bugs!
