Tabby is an open-source, self-hosted AI coding assistant that brings AI into your development workflow while keeping you in control.

## What is Tabby?

Tabby is an open-source, self-hosted AI coding assistant that brings AI into your development workflow while keeping you in control.It offers a transparent, flexible, and highly configurable alternative to proprietary solutions for both cloud and on-premises setups.

Core capabilities include intelligent code completion, an in-IDE answer engine for instant coding answers, inline chat tied to your code context, and data connectors that enrich the assistant’s understanding of your project.Tabby integrates with popular IDEs and can leverage consumer-grade GPUs for local acceleration.

The newly introduced Agent feature and Pochi (your full-stack AI teammate) extend automation and collaboration, enabling planning, execution, and check-ins similar to a human teammate.For the latest details, refer to the official site.
