What is Kite?

Kite is an AI-powered programming assistant that helps you write Python code in your code editor. Kite helps you write code faster by showing you the right information at the right time. Learn more about how Kite heightens VS Code's capabilities at https://kite.com/.

At a high level, Kite provides you with:

  • 🧠 Line-of-Code Completions powered by machine learning models trained on the entire open source code universe
  • 📝 Intelligent Snippets that automatically provide context-relevant code snippets for your function calls
  • 🔍 Instant documentation for the symbol underneath your cursor so you save time searching for Python docs
