Visual Studio IntelliCode
Visual Studio IntelliCode is Microsoft’s AI-assisted coding feature for IDEs that augments IntelliSense with context-aware suggestions in Visual Studio, and previously in Visual Studio Code.
In VS Code, the IntelliCode extension provided whole-line predictions, API usage examples, and ranked completions for Python and other languages like JavaScript and TypeScript. On November 12, 2025, Microsoft deprecated all four VS Code IntelliCode extensions: IntelliCode, IntelliCode Completions, IntelliCode for C# Dev Kit, and IntelliCode API Usage Examples. For AI-assisted coding in VS Code, Microsoft now recommends GitHub Copilot instead. IntelliCode remains bundled with Visual Studio, where the supported languages are C#, XAML, C++, JavaScript, TypeScript, and Visual Basic. That means IntelliCode no longer offers Python support in either IDE. Suggestions are based on patterns learned from thousands of high-quality open-source projects on GitHub.
