Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use RepoBird and Tabnine together?

Absolutely! They serve different purposes. Use Tabnine for real-time code completion while you work, and RepoBird for automating complete issues and clearing your backlog.

Does RepoBird require training on my codebase?

No. RepoBird agents automatically understand your codebase structure and conventions without any training or setup. They analyze your code in real-time during each run.

Which is better for reducing technical debt?

RepoBird excels at systematically clearing technical debt by autonomously handling refactoring issues. Tabnine helps maintain code quality during development but doesn't actively reduce existing debt.
