What it does

Visual Assist has a wealth of features to enhance developer productivity. They're all really great. Improve virtually every Microsoft IDE you have with the multitude of features that comprise Visual Assist.

Visual Assist for Visual Studio is a productivity tool for refactoring, reading, writing, navigating and generating C/C++/C# code. Try it for free.

“The same parser the studios run. Yours, on your own machine.” New licenses only. Applied automatically at checkout. Ends September 30. Visual Assist speeds up everyday C++ work and helps you keep code clean, from navigation and refactoring to catching issues as you type. VA Intelligence extends that to AI, giving models better information about your code. Built for code intelligence, not compilation, so it works even on code that won't build. Parallel, incremental parsing keeps it responsive on large codebases. VA Intelligence runs local models in Visual Studio. Optional, and it stays out of your way. Make you software development team do more with less effort. Ship builds faster. Write…from wholetomato.com

It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
