What do you like best about Kite?

Kite is a good AI code assistant. It supports multiple languages and can be easily used. It has increased my productivity and saved a lot of time in typing everything. It also has a great feature of documentation lookup which helps in looking for the documentation of a specific block of code and see its usage. It works smoothly and never almost lags. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kite?

Kite's AI Assistant suggests code as you type. It comes up in a drop-down menu kind of thing with the suggestions which I feel is a little downside of using Kite. Other AI assistants like Github Co-pilot are actually showing it in the code editor which makes it visually appealing and easy to understand the code before using that code block. I feel if Kite does that then it would be very easy to write code but other than there's nothing as such a dislike for the software. It is pretty good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kite solving and how is that benefiting you?

Kite has helped increased productivity in writing code. It was earlier tiring to write code word by word but now with the help of Kite, we are able to write code in fewer keystrokes. With its awesome code suggestions, it makes it easy to write code if we are stuck somewhere. Its code suggestions are almost accurate which helps in writing less code, saving time, and increasing productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kite?

Unlike other alternative code complements, Kite can also deliver codes in blocks. And while doing this, it makes use of both artificial intelligence and the codes you have written before. It does not tire the IDE, it works fast and beautifully. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kite?

Kite is perhaps my favorite software as a software developer. I don't know what I would do without him. There is no cons. A perfect helper. Maybe it can be said as a minus that the developers do not opensource the project and continue to support it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kite solving and how is that benefiting you?

It speeds up and simplifies the coder's writing speed. In fact, we can say that if used correctly, it also provides education. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kite?

It is a perfect AI coding assistant which comes at no cost to the user.

Its best feature is its auto-completion feature which helps in increasing your efficiency.

It can be added to almost any text editor and comes at no cost to the user.

It tracks your code writing behavior and then suggests the other code that is just awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kite?

It is just an AI coding assistant; therefore, it does not have much to offer. But, the work for which it was made, it entirely does it. Hence, I do not find anything that I dislike about it. The only thing they can improve is by providing patch updates more early. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Kite:

I will surely recommend Kite to all the software developers to add it in their text editors to speed up their code writing speed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kite solving and how is that benefiting you?

Kite being an Artificial Intelligence Coding Assistant increased my productivity by more than 25 percent, helping me finish my work on time. Also, it comes at no cost to the user, therefore , it does not hurt your pocket. I am currently using it in Sublime text as an AI coding assistant primarily for Python.

What do you like best about Kite?

Kite is one of the best coding assistants, which can be integrated into almost all the code editors available on the internet. It also comes with a lifetime free plan for those who are tight on their budget. Kite decreased my project completion time by almost 30%, which is just fantabulous. Last but not least, it has support for nearly all the programming languages which one would think of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kite?

I do not find anything prominent that I dislike about Kite as it has not got much to do. It is a AI-powered code completion software that performs its task wonderfully. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Kite:

I want to recommend Kite to all the code developers to increase their coding efficiency.

But I don't know why Kite has recently gone out of service and become unavailable, maybe because of some maintenance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kite solving and how is that benefiting you?

No second thought, Kite has increased my coding efficiency a lot and helped me finish my projects on time, all thanks to the AI software behind it. Even if you buy its premium version, it is worth every penny you spend on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kite?

Kite is one of the best coding assistants I have ever used. It can be used with almost any text editor available. It comes at no cost to the user and, therefore, does not hurt your pocket at all. It is worth adding in your text editor if one needs to do coding on regular basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kite?

It is a bit buggy software and hence, sometimes crashes when working on large projects. But, this happens very rarely. Except for this, I do not find anything that I dislike about kite. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Kite:

Kite is a free AI add-on that must be tried out once by every developer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kite solving and how is that benefiting you?

The sole purpose of using Kite is to increase your productivity, and so it helps you too. With the help of Artificial Intelligence and recommendations, it has definitely improved my productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tool is available for so many languages that it is most likely to be available in what you code in. It has a vast library and suggests perfectly the syntax and the code snippets required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes UI makes it uncomfortable to select the line I want to write. It gets in the way of the actual code written. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kite?

well, it works (under certain circumstances) and provides suggestions (the same quality as some IDE plugins do, don't expect anything magic) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kite?

Totally useless for me.

Does NOT work for remote development over SSH (in VS Code at least, I have not tried anything else), so if you have to SSH - forget about it, it won't work.

DOES NOT WORK ON M1 Apple Silicon Macs and the team have no clue when it will.

You can only manage your subscription in Kite copilot, so if you're on new Mac, you have to pick up a win machine just to unsubscribe. That's a shame. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Kite:

make sure you're NOT on new Mac and you only work locally Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

im not able to solve anything with it because it does not work for my scenarios Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kite?

Kite provides good data storage and integration feature with database servers and more features for coding in python. It can be integrated with many popular IDE's like Pycharm, VsCode, Intellij, Sublime, Spyder etc. It significantly reduces time when coding redundant programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kite?

The IDE is not an open-source tool and it is not mature enough to use in a big project or organization. I think the deep learning and AI algorithms they are using can still improve. Also, the team version provides support up to 100k lines of code and some complex systems have more than that many lines of code which makes it unusable by most organizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Kite:

If you're a heavy user for Python and its IDEs, then I would recommend using Kite rather than IDE's intellisense. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kite solving and how is that benefiting you?

Right now the time efficiency of writing a huge chunk of code has been improved by using Kite. It definitely helps deliver projects on time using fewer resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
