What if you could translate plain English to code? Watson Code Assistant allows you to do just that. Powered by IBM watsonx.ai foundation models (FM), Watson Code Assistant makes it easier for anyone to write code with AI-generated recommendations, bringing the power of IT automation to your entire organization as a strategic, accessible asset for more users—not just the subject-matter experts. This means automatically suggesting code for developers based on natural language inputs.

Watson Code Assistant is infused with watsonx.ai FMs that are purpose-built, created with deployment efficiency in mind, and which enable organizations to customize the models, while also applying enterprise standards and best practices.
