ライブAI出力でコード理解を加速

Visual Assist by Whole Tomato Software is a productivity plugin for Microsoft Visual Studio that enhances your C/C++ and C# development. It improves upon IntelliSense and syntax highlighting, improving code navigation and refactoring, and offers intelligent code completion and generation. Additionally, Visual Assist provides static code analysis to identify potential bugs and performance issues, all designed to save you time and effort while writing, reading, and maintaining your code.

The Visual Assist 2026.1 update enhances the responsiveness of VA Intelligence by improving AI-generated responses in real time, allowing developers to begin reading explanations as soon as generation starts rather than waiting for a complete result. This approach reduces perceived latency, which is especially noticeable when requesting detailed code explanations or working with larger codebases. By presenting information progressively, the update makes longer responses easier to consume and understand, supporting quicker comprehension and decision-making during development tasks. All processing continues to run locally on compatible GPU hardware, preserving Visual Assist’s commitment to keeping source code private and ensuring that no intellectual property leaves the developer’s machine.
