As I will happily demonstrate, it doesn't take a genius to point out that artificial intelligence (AI) is a very, very hot topic right now. In fact, G2's 2023 Best Software Awards showed that the top 3 fastest-growing software products on G2 were AI tools. Much of the buzz is around Chatbots, G2's fastest-growing AI category, with a staggering 261% traffic increase between February 2022 and February 2023.

However, AI's current and future impact on software development is a major part of the conversation. AI code completion, a type of generative AI which can range from one-line code suggestions to fully functioning programs based on codeless prompts, represents a leap forward for the entire development process.
