The MPLAB AI Coding Assistant is a free, customized version of the Continue extension from Visual Studio Code Marketplace, one of the leading open-source AI code assistants on the market today. Tailored specifically for users developing Microchip products, this free tool facilitates the development of Microchip-specific features, new slash commands, shortcuts and common use cases. With MPLAB AI Coding Assistant, you will be interacting with a Microchip-trained virtual assistant chatbot that will answer your Microchip-specific product coding questions. MPLAB AI Coding Assistant is continuously updated with Microchip-specific information, allowing you to:

• Develop and edit Microchip product-specific code seamlessly and with fewer hallucinations than publicly available AI tools
• Access Microchip data sheets without leaving the editor
• Take advantage of the Autocomplete feature, which provides suggestions as users type their code
• Generate, review, explain and comment on code
• Automate mundane tasks such as commenting code
• Enhance productivity for product development

You can do all this without leaving the editor since the chatbot sits in the sidebar once installed. Enhance your coding experience today with our MPLAB AI Coding Assistant.
