With IntelliCode, the completion list suggests the most likely correct API for a developer to use, rather than presenting a simple alphabetical list of members. It uses the developer's current code context, and patterns based on 2000 high quality, open-source projects on GitHub each with over 100 stars, to provide this dynamic list. The results form a model that predicts the most likely and most relevant API calls.

## Q: How good are the IntelliCode completion suggestions?

We’ve been using IntelliCode’s recommendations internally at Microsoft for some time, and believe the suggestions are useful. Ultimately, though, the proof will be in how useful these recommendations are to you as you code. We would love you to give the Visual Studio [IntelliCode extension](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=872707) a try. Let us know how it works out for you and send us your feedback. We’ll also train our model based on what you pick in our recommendations, and we'll update the extension as the model improves.

## Q. What's the future of IntelliCode?

We're exploring a wide range of ways to improve developer productivity using AI and other advanced techniques. At Build 2018, we showed an early view of some of the scenarios where we think AI could assist developers, but there are so many more! We're interested in learning from developers that experiment with what we've shown, so sign up for news and updates at [https://aka.ms/intellicode](https://aka.ms/intellicode).

The experience was shown at Build 2018 in Visual Studio 2017 on a C# codebase. However, we look forward to expanding IntelliCode to more languages and tools in the Visual Studio family in the future.

Developers are invited to experience Visual Studio IntelliCode today as an experimental preview extension. The purpose of the extension is to enable developers to test IntelliCode's capabilities and to provide feedback to the product team.

We capture some anonymized usage and error-reporting data from the extension to help improve the product. No user-defined code is sent to Microsoft, but we collect information about your use of the IntelliCode results. The data only includes open-source and .NET types and members that you selected from IntelliCode's suggested list. Developers can opt out of Visual Studio data collection, which turns off data collection for the IntelliCode extension too. From the menu bar, select **Help** > **Send Feedback** > **Settings**. In the **Visual Studio Experience Improvement Program** dialog, select **No, I would not like to participate** and then select **OK**.

The IntelliCode extension may periodically ask the developer to complete a survey, which again is anonymized. Users can sign up for news and a future private preview, but are not currently required to do so to use the experimental extension.

Future features may require access to a service, which will require sign-up. We'll publish more details when those features are ready for private preview.
