Tabby

What is Tabby?

Tabby is an open-source AI coding assistant that you can host on your own infrastructure, so source code stays under your control. It offers code completion, in-line chat, an Answer Engine for questions about your codebase, a code browser and context providers that feed domain knowledge into answers. Admins manage users and groups, invite teammates by email, allow self-registration for approved email domains, and restrict which groups can reach each context. Single sign-on is available on the Enterprise tier, with GitHub and Google OAuth documented in version 0.10 and LDAP support also mentioned. Tabby suits individual developers, small teams and organizations that want transparency and data control. Tabby pricing has a free Community license for up to 5 users, a Team plan at $19 per seat per month for up to 50 users, and a custom Enterprise plan with unlimited users, SSO and a dedicated Slack channel.
