Tabnine
Privacy-first AI coding assistant with on-prem and air-gapped deployment
Last reviewed 2026-06-18
Tabnine is an enterprise AI coding assistant built around privacy and control. It provides code completion and codebase-grounded chat in popular IDEs, with an Enterprise Context Engine that grounds suggestions in your own code. Its differentiator is deployment flexibility and data handling: SaaS, VPC, on-premises, or fully air-gapped, with zero code retention and models trained only on permissively licensed open-source code. Its Agentic Platform tier adds an IDE agent with a plan mode, a code review agent, a CLI for terminal and CI/CD, and MCP tool integration. Tabnine targets enterprises with strict compliance needs (GDPR, SOC 2, ISO 27001) that cannot send code to public cloud models. Inline completion is copilot-style; the agentic tier performs multi-step tasks under human oversight.
