What it does

Tabby is an open-source AI coding assistant that you can run on your own infrastructure instead of relying on a proprietary cloud service. The site stresses transparency, a deployment that needs no external database or cloud services, and support for consumer-grade GPUs. In the editor it offers code completion that predicts your next lines from the surrounding context, an answer engine for asking coding questions without leaving the IDE, and inline chat tied to the code you are working on. The site also promotes a newer agent feature described as an AI teammate that plans and carries out tasks. The homepage lists support for VS Code, Neovim, IntelliJ, Eclipse, Android Studio and a range of JetBrains IDEs. A free community plan covers simple self-onboarding with local-first deployment, while Team and Enterprise plans are offered through a demo booking.
