Report: Apple Developing AI-Powered Tool to Assist Developers in Code Writing
Apple plans to release an artificial intelligence tool to complete lines of software code, Bloomberg reported Thursday.
The tool would be similar to Microsoft’s Copilot, which can complete lines and blocks of code based on the first bits of code written by a developer, the news service reported. Apple could include the feature in its Xcode software as early as this year.
Apple gives Xcode away for free to software developers, but charges $99 a year to submit apps to its app stores.
Bloomberg also reported that Apple is planning other AI features for its products, such as the ability to automatically create Apple Music playlists and slides in its business presentation software. The news service said a new version of Apple’s “Spotlight” search feature on its devices could dig deeper into apps to control certain app features. Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
