Your role changes from writing code manually to directing an intelligent assistant capable of completing a wide range of programming tasks.</p> <div class="key-points-right key-points-first"><img class="modal-img" src="/images/key-ai-suggest.png" onclick="modal_show_image(this, 579)"><div class="key-point"><h2>Code Suggestion</h2>You can ask Wing to use generative AI to implement missing code at the current input position in the editor. It reads the existing content of your file, and optionally also imported files and other project files, and uses them as cues for what code you want to write. For example, you can enter partially completed code like "def rename_person" and ask Wing to write the rest of the function or method. Or add a comment and ask Wing to write the code that it describes.</div></div><br clear="all"><div class="key-points-left"><img class="modal-img" src="/images/key-ai-refactor.png" onclick="modal_show_image(this, 579)"><div class="key-point"><h2>Refactoring and Redesign</h2>Wing's <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">AI</span></tt> tool lets you use generative AI to refactor, redesign, or rewrite existing units of code. Example requests that you can make include: "add a docstring to this method", "convert this into a Python generator", and "rewrite this threaded code to instead run asynchronously".</div></div><br clear="all"><div class="key-points-right"><img class="modal-img" src="/images/key-ai-description.png" onclick="modal_show_image(this, 579)"><div class="key-point"><h2>Description-driven Development</h2>You can write new code at the current insertion point according to written instructions that describe the intended functionality and design of the new code.

You can easily paste code from the chat into your code files, when you have arrived at an acceptible solution. AI chat can accept up to 20 whole files of context for your chat, which gives it much more information to use in developing high quality responses.</div></div><br clear="all"><div class="key-points-right"><img class="modal-img" src="/images/key-ai-context.png" onclick="modal_show_image(this, 579)"><div class="key-point"><h2>Manage Request Context and Costs</h2><p>Wing's AI integration lets you manage what code to include as context with your requests, so that you can control whether the AI has access to information necessary for it to produce quality results, without reaching AI request rate limits or racking up huge AI provider costs. Actual cost of each request and all requests made so far is shown in the <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">AI</span></tt> tool, so you can make sure your use of AI remains cost-effective.</p> <br><br></div></div> <p> </p> </div>  </div> </div> <div id="footer"> <div id="footer-div"> <div id="footer-copyright-div"> <p class="copyright"> 漏 1999-2025 Wingware </p> </div>  <div id="footer-menu-div"> <ul id="footer-menu"> <li class="first-child"> <a href="/contact">Contact</a> </li> <li> <a href="/search">Search</a> </li> <li> <a href="/site_map">Site Map</a> </li> <li> <span id="terms-item"><a href="/legal" id="terms-item">Terms</a></span> </li> </ul> </div>  <div id="footer-social-div"> <div id="socialmedia"> <a href="https://twitter.com/pythonide"><img alt="Twitter" border="0" height="32px" src="/images/icons/social-twitter.png" width="32px" /></a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/wingware"><img alt="Facebook" border="0" height="32px" src="/images/icons/social-facebook.png" width="32px" /></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/@wingware" rel="me"><img alt="Mastodon" border="0" height="32px" src="/images/icons/social-mastodon.png" width="32px" /></a> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=3082625"><img alt="Linked In" border="0" height="32px" src="/images/icons/social-linkedin.png" width="32px" /></a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/wingware"><img alt="YouTube" border="0" height="32px" src="/images/icons/social-youtube.png" width="32px" /></a> </div>  </div>  </div>  <p class="vcard"> <span><span class="org"><b>Wingware</b></span></span> <span class="adr"><span class="street-address">P.O.
