Actionable fixes for everyone. AI now generally available for all Codacy Quality customers

We are excited to announce the general availability of Codacy AI, designed to enhance development workflows and improve overall code quality. This powerful capability is transformative to the way you and your team identify and fix quality issues in your code, making the development process smoother and more efficient.

At Codacy, we understand the challenges that development teams face when managing code quality. Historically, teams have spent countless hours manually identifying and resolving issues, while the process was prone to human error. With this new capability based on leading-edge AI models, Codacy aims to alleviate this pain by providing a solution that not only identifies code issues but also suggests actionable fixes, saving you and your team’s valuable time and effort. We also empower engineers to learn and develop while ensuring that experts and senior developers can focus on higher-value tasks.

Benefits:

1. Increased Development Efficiency: With the automated code fix recommendations, developers can save valuable time instead of detecting and fixing issues manually. By reducing the time-consuming task of fixing common code issues, developers can focus on higher-level value problem-solving and feature development, increasing efficiency.
2. Seamless Integration and Centralization: The feature seamlessly integrates within popular version control platforms like GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket. It centralizes all code issue information and fix recommendations, eliminating the need to switch between different tools. When using GitHub, developers can commit a fix with a single click, further simplifying and streamlining their workflow.

How it works

Codacy AI runs on top of Codacy’s analysis engine to provide actionable suggestions for issue resolution. It seamlessly integrates into your development environment, supporting multiple programming languages and frameworks. The feature automatically identifies common issues and suggests specific fixes or refactoring patterns to address them. Note that your private code is never used for training the Quality AI model.

Will my code be used to train AI models?

We’re using OpenAI to generate our fix suggestions. No input that we feed into their models will be used for training. Further, we use 2 data points to generate the suggestions:

1. The static analysis issue description, including a tool information that identified the issue
2. A few lines of code where the issue was found for context to give more accuracy in the suggestions

We never share complete files or whole directories to generate the fix information.Ready to revolutionize your development process with Codacy AI?
