The MPLAB® AI Coding Assistant is a customized version of the Continue extension from Visual Studio Code Marketplace, which is the leading open-source AI code assistant on the market today.

With MPLAB AI Coding Assistant, you can:
• Develop code seamlessly
• Interact with a Microchip-trained chatbot and ask Microchip-specific questions
• Access Microchip data sheets without leaving the editor
• Generate, review, explain and comment on code
• Take advantage of the Autocomplete feature, which provides suggestions as users type their code
• Edit code as needed
