What Tabnine is
Tabnine is an AI code completion and agentic coding platform founded in 2013 as Codota in Tel Aviv by Dror Weiss and Eran Yahav, renamed Tabnine in May 2021 after Codota acquired the original Tabnine product (created in 2018 by Jacob Jackson). It is now part of Tricentis, which acquired Tabnine in 2026 and describes itself as a leader in agentic quality engineering. It delivers multi-LLM code suggestions, a Tabnine Context Engine, AI agents for coding, code review, testing, and documentation, and supports SaaS, virtual private cloud, on-premises, and fully air-gapped deployments with no code storage. It is widely adopted by regulated enterprises that need private, organization-aware AI coding without sending code to public model providers.
Funding snapshot
Tabnine closed a Series B round of $25M in November 2023, following a $12M Series A in April 2020 and a $2M seed (as Codota) in June 2017 (source: Wikipedia). Tabnine's own site confirms the company 'has been acquired by Tricentis, the global leader in agentic quality engineering.'
