Example Workflow

VS Code with Tabnine + AVELIN:

[You're writing a React component]

You type: const UserProfile = ({ userId }) => {
            const [user, setUser] = useState(null);
            
            useEffect(() => {
              // Tabnine suggests:

Tabnine suggestion (press Tab to accept):
              fetchUser(userId)
                .then(data => setUser(data))
                .catch(error => {
                  console.error('Failed to fetch user:', error);
                  setError(error.message);
                });
            }, [userId]);

[You accept the suggestion with Tab]

[Continue typing]
const handleSubmit = (e) => {
  e.preventDefault();
  // Tabnine suggests:

Tabnine suggestion:
  const formData = new FormData(e.target);
  const userData = Object.fromEntries(formData);
  
  updateUser(userId, userData)
    .then(updatedUser => {
      setUser(updatedUser);
      showToast('Profile updated successfully');
    })
    .catch(error => {
      showToast('Failed to update profile: ' + error.message);
    });
}

[You accept and continue coding with intelligent suggestions]
