Code generation tools aim to increase productivity by generating code segments for developers - either in the form of autocompletion of existing code segments or converting prompts into code. Code generation tools have been around for some time. New code generation tools based on AI models, in particular, have gained popularity over the past few years with the availability of commercial products such as GitHub Copilot and Amazon CodeWhisperer.
