🆕What's New

Building the best AI assistant for the developers

AI Code Review Agent - 22nd Mar 2024

New Feature

AI that Understands Your Code: The AI Code Review Agent can now better understand code changes in pull requests. It achieves this by analyzing relevant context from your entire repository, resulting in more accurate and helpful code reviews.

To comprehend your code and its dependencies, we use Symbol Indexing, Abstract Syntax Trees (AST), and Embeddings. For more information, see How does Bito’s “AI that understands your code” work?

Supported languages include JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, Go, Python, C, C++, PHP, and C#.

Static Code Analysis for Python: The AI Code Review Agent now actively supports static code analysis for Python code using Astral Ruff and Mypy, in addition to its existing support for Java, Objective C, and C/C++. It proactively identifies potential errors and vulnerabilities within your Python codebase, thereby improving code quality and accelerating development cycles.

Inline Comments: We've added support for inline comments in both GitHub and GitLab. This means code suggestions are now provided directly within each file, under the code diff. This offers a clearer view of the specific lines that need fixing.

Inline commenting is by default enabled for all new and existing AI Code Review Agent instances. The “Overview” section now shows the number of files changed and suggestions made in a pull request, along with a link that directs you to the specific file changes.

To manually trigger inline code reviews with comments directly on the code diffs, post the /review command as comment on the pull request. You can also add a new optional parameter like /review #inline_comment=False. This lets you receive a full-post code review instead of separate inline comments under the diffs.

AI Code Review Agent - 15th Mar 2024

New Feature

Added Support for GitHub/GitLab Enterprise (self-hosted): You can now integrate Bito's AI Code Review Agent with your on-premises GitHub or GitLab environment to enhance security. This is crucial for organizations in regulated industries with strict data compliance requirements.

Get started using Bito Cloud

Multiple Specialized Engineers: We've made significant improvements to the way the AI Code Review Agent analyzes your code. It now acts as a set of specialized engineers each analyzing different aspects of your PR. They analyze aspects such as Performance, Code Structure, Security, Optimization, and Scalability. By combining and filtering the results, the Agent can provide you with much more detailed and insightful code reviews, bringing you a better quality code review and helping you save time.

IDE V1.3.0 - 15th Mar 2024

New Feature

Light and Dark Themes: In Visual Studio Code and JetBrains IDEs, you can choose between a light or dark theme for the Bito panel to match your coding environment preference. For VS Code users, Bito also offers an adaptive theme mode in which the Bito panel and font colors automatically adjust based on your selected VS Code theme, creating a seamless visual experience.

The IDE customization settings are accessible through the new toolbar dropdown menu titled "Extension Settings".

Font Size Control: Take control of your code readability! Within the Bito extension settings, you can now adjust the font size for a comfortable viewing experience.

AI Smartly Identifies Your Question's Intent: Bito automatically figures out if you're asking about something in your code. If it's confident, it grabs the relevant parts of your code from our index and feeds them to the Large Language Models (LLMs) for accurate answers. But if it's unsure, Bito will ask you to confirm before proceeding.

Don't worry, existing cue words such as "my code" and "my repo" still work perfectly!

IDE V1.2.9 - 12th Mar 2024

Improvement and Bug fixes

Fixed Multi-Level Paths in .bitoignore: The .bitoignore file now correctly handles paths with multiple subdirectories. Previously, using patterns to ignore deeply nested directories wasn't working as expected in VS Code. For instance, if you add a pattern like project/data/subfolder to your .bitoignore file, it will now correctly ignore all files and subdirectories within the project/data/subfolder directory.

Fixed Slash Command Usability Issue: Bito chatbox no longer blocks users from typing content that starts with a slash /, such as /bin/bash. The Template panel now disappears entirely if no matching templates are found after entering additional characters following the slash.

IDE V1.2.8 - 16th Feb 2024

Improvement and Bug fixes

400 Advanced AI Requests Monthly: Exciting news from Bito's 10X Developer Plan! We've raised your Advanced AI Models' quota from 100 to 400 requests per month. This significant increase allows for uninterrupted usage, giving you the freedom to explore more without worrying about limits. For more information, please visit our Pricing Page.

Advanced AI Default in Bito Chat: 10X Developer Plan now starts with Advanced AI Models as default for Bito AI Chat in the IDE extension, ensuring immediate access to top-tier coding assistance for enhanced efficiency and creativity.

Suggest Code Inside Brackets: We've resolved the issue that prevented AI Code Completions within inline brackets, including arrays, function headers, and more. Now, when you input code within brackets—like creating an array in PHP, such as $numbers = [89, 7, 22,<Bito_DISPLAYS_CODE_COMPLETION_HERE>];—right after you add a space or comma following the last array element, Bito immediately provides suggestions to help you fill in the code faster. It's not just for arrays; this works for all kinds of brackets in your code.

IDE V1.1.6 - 28th Aug 2023

Improvement and Bug fixes

File/Folder Filtering Improved for Indexing: We've added more files and folders to the exclusion list, speeding up the indexing process by preventing Bito from indexing unnecessary files and folders.

Progress Indicator for Indexing: Index building now has a progress indicator based on the number of files indexed. The progress indicator for the current folder is updated in real-time. However, for projects in the "Other projects" section, the progress indicator is updated every 5 minutes.

Added "Indexing is paused" status: This status will be displayed for a project that was previously being indexed but is now paused for some reason. Generally, if you close the IDE while the project is being indexed, its status will change from "Indexing in progress" to "Indexing is paused."

IDE V1.1.4 - 14th Aug 2023

New Feature

AI that Understands Your Code: Bito's most requested feature is here. Bito AI now comprehends your codebase inside out using AI indexing, ensuring privacy as the index stays on your system.

-f option: To specify the file to perform the operation/instructions described in the prompt file.

Here are two examples for you to see My Prompt in action:

Create Git Commit Messages and Markdown Documentation with Ease using Bito CLI My Prompt

Generate test data using Bito CLI My Prompt:

  1. Generate Unit Test Shortcut (Waitlist): With this new shortcut button, developers can now easily generate unit tests for their code with just a click. This new feature is designed to streamline the testing process and improve code quality, making it easier for developers to deliver high-quality work.

    Be the first to try our exciting new feature! You can now add yourself to the waitlist by clicking on the icon.

Improvement and Bug fixes:

  1. Improved Explain Code Shortcut: Previously, the Explain Code shortcut button provided a summary of the code logic, but with our latest update, it now also provides a detailed, step-by-step explanation of the code. We have merged two previous shortcuts into one. Now, developers can easily understand the code logic and its components.

  2. We've fixed an issue where the CTRL+C command was not working on Mac OS. Now, you can easily copy and paste text without any problems.

  3. We've resolved an issue with context menus and shortcuts not working on Ubuntu 2023.1 JetBrains. This fix ensures that all shortcuts and context menus work as expected, making it easier for developers to navigate the IDE.

  4. We've fixed an issue on Linux version 2023.1 IntelliJ where users could not type anything in the text area of our chat interface. This fix ensures that users can input text as expected.

IDE V1.0.133 - 30th March 2023

New Features

  1. Chat Session History: In the last release, we added Context-Aware chat. This release lets you view past chat sessions on the chat interface. The history feature is located at the top right corner of the chat interface. With this, users can easily revisit their past conversations, making it easier to pick up where they left off. Additionally, users can share their past chat sessions with colleagues, making it easier to collaborate and share knowledge. The new chat session History adds another layer of convenience and functionality to the AI assistant.

  1. GPT-4: We are thrilled to announce that we have integrated GPT-4, the industry's latest and most powerful generation model. With GPT-4 integration, Bito's AI assistant is now even more powerful and capable of providing detailed and accurate responses to various programming-related queries. Developers can ask complex questions and receive natural language responses that are both helpful and informative.

  2. Long Code Input: Bito fully leverages GPT-4's increased token limit. With this, users could input and receive feedback on larger blocks of code, making it easier to troubleshoot and optimize code for performance. The exact size of the code depends on many factors, including how long the current chat session is. Bito can take 2-3x longer code input than the input length supported by the previous version of Bito.

Note that we use a combination of GPT-4 and GPT Turbo 3.5 models. We route long, complex prompts to GPT-4 and short prompts to Turbo 3.5 models. This helps us balance the quality of output that Bito generates and the cost of servicing users. If you ask Bito about the model in use, most likely, it will say GPT-3, as this simple prompt is routed to Turbo 3.5.

We may offer a paid version of Bito in the future that always uses GPT-4 or other advanced models. However, our internal testing has shown that the output quality for simple and short prompts is not very different between 3.5 and 4. The full benefit of GPT-4 is realized in complex, long prompts or when prompts are related to niche facts that models are likely to hallucinate. We have not seen "hallucination" as a major issue for the development-related use cases that Bito is targeting.

Improvement and Bug fixes:

  1. Stop Generation in Chat Interface: We have added a Stop Generation button to our chat interface, allowing users to stop the response generation process anytime. This feature will be especially helpful in cases where users have asked a question incorrectly or want to modify their question before receiving a response.

  1. Diff View Bug Fix – We have resolved a bug in our VS Code Extension v1.0.132. The bug affected one of our key features, Diff view, which provides a side-by-side view of changes proposed by Bito AI in the IDE. The bug was causing multiple diff views to open simultaneously, which could be confusing. This has been fixed now.

IDE V1.0.132 & CLI V2.0 - 16th March 2023

New Features

  1. Context-Aware Chat: Our latest update is the most critical one since our launch. Many of our users had requested an interactive chat experience similar to ChatGPT, which was unavailable in earlier versions. With this new update, you can now ask follow-up questions to refine the output, which considers the chat history for context. You can initiate a chat session with a custom request, use Bito Shortcuts like Performance Check, and follow up with additional prompts. To give you an idea of how it works, here is an example of an interactive chat session.

  1. Instant Results: With the latest release of Bito, you can now experience instant results that appear within seconds. In previous versions, users had to wait patiently while being entertained by amusing messages, but we understand that this could become frustrating over time. This new update implements streaming output, allowing you to access the information you need with minimal delay immediately.

Note: Context-Aware Chat and Instant Results are available in the latest version of Bito CLI and Chrome Extension.

Improvements & Bug Fixes

  1. Dynamic Font Size & Family: This feature in Bito adjusts the interface's font size and family dynamically based on the font size you have set up in your Integrated Development Environment (IDE) settings. The goal of this feature is to make the chat interface more accessible and comfortable to use for all users, regardless of their font preferences, visual acuity, or screen size.

  2. Configure Keyboard Shortcuts: This feature allows users to customize the default keyboard shortcuts in Bito to avoid conflicts with other IDE-specific shortcuts they may be using. By configuring keyboard shortcuts, users can streamline their workflow and increase their productivity by accessing Bito functions more quickly and efficiently. The instructions for configuring keyboard shortcuts in Bito are in this link.

IDE V1.0.130 - 24nd Feb 2023

New Features

  1. Diff View: Bito Shortcuts added many quick operations on your existing code, such as checking performance, improving code readability, or security check. The Diff View in IDE now gives a side-by-side view of the changes proposed by Bito AI. Bito automatically creates a temp file with the proposed code changes and displays diff view with your current code file. IDE's built-in "diff review feature" lets you review and accept/reject the changes. We love that Bito AI can improve your code in many ways, but we want you to be in control while incorporating changes to your code repository. Diff view is built just for that.

  1. Keyboard Accessibility: We have added keyboard accessibility to all UI elements in Bito. You can navigate with Tab and Shift + Tab. Standard keys such as Enter, ESC, and Up/Down arrows work. You can also move between Q&A with the Up and Down arrow keys once the Q/A container is focused.

  2. Keyboard Shortcuts: Keyboard shortcuts for the most commonly used commands.

    • SHIFT+ CTRL + O: Brings Bito panel in focus. With this shortcut, you can toggle Bito Panel on/off in the JetBrains extensions. In VS Code, the shortcut will open the Bito panel (if not already opened). You can use shortcuts of other tabs (e.g. CTRL + SHIFT + E for Explorer) to close Bito.

    • SPACEBAR: Puts cursor in the chatbox when Bito panel is in focus.

    • ENTER: Execute the chat command.

    • CTRL+ ENTER or SHIFT + ENTER: Adds a new line in the chatbox.

    • The following shortcuts work on the Q&A when a Q&A is selected.

      1. CTRL + C: Copy the answer to the clipboard.

      2. CTRL + I: Insert the answer in the code editor.

      3. CTRL + D: Toggle the diff view (when Diff View is applicable)

      4. CTRL + UP/DOWN (Mac: CTRL + SHIFT + UP/DOWN): Expand and collapse the code block where applicable.

      5. CTRL + L : Regnerate the answer.

      6. CTRL + U: Modify the prompt for the selected Q&A. Bito copies the prompt in the chatbox that you can modify as needed.

    • CTRL + M: Modify the most recently executed prompt.

    • CTRL + UP/DOWN (CTRL + SHIFT + UP/DOWN on Mac): Expands and collapses the "Shortcut" panel in Bito.

  3. Sharing: You can easily share a single question and answer to any channel. Every question and answer has a web permalink that you can share on Twitter and E-mail directly. Copy and paste the link into Slack, Teams, Jira, or Confluence.

  4. Regenerate the results of any prompt with a single click.

  1. Edit prompt lets you modify a previously executed prompt. You can edit any prompt with the "Edit Prompt" action next to the question.

To modify the most recent prompt, click the "Redo" icon in the chatbox.

Improvements & Bug Fixes

  1. The Bito icon in the JetBrains IDE is optimized, so the extension panel doesn't take up space when not in use.

V1.0.129 - 31st Jan 2023

Improvements & Bug Fixes

  1. Code Block formatting and syntax highlighting make it easy to distinguish code from the text content in the chat output. When you use Shortcuts to transform any existing code, the original code is collapsed by default in the question box, thus giving more space for the answer, and the output code is formatted and syntax highlighted.

  1. Several UI improvements to make Bito look and work great in your IDE. We have reduced padding around the questions and answers blocks so you see more content. The scrollbars are optimized to take up less space and reduce visual clutter.
