Oracle is expanding into coding assistance with “Oracle Code Assist”, focusing on Java, SQL, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. The company is prioritizing AI in products, with AI Vector Search in its 23ai Database for querying business data using natural language. This integrates with tools like Cohere and Llama to make data accessible even to non-SQL users.
The new Oracle Code Assist aims to help developers with code generation, annotation, explainability, faster reviews, and test coverage. Developers can generate code hints, API documentation, code summaries, and pull requests for code reviews to improve code quality. The tool also allows for quick updates to Java applications and features like generating unit tests and documentation.
While the underlying model and pricing for Code Assist are yet to be revealed, the competition in the market is heating up with AI capabilities being integrated into coding tools. The future of software engineering may involve tools that automate large parts of application development, requiring programmers to assemble these parts while adhering to business rules.
