Yes, Xcode now incorporates AI capabilities. In Xcode 16, Apple has introduced generative models to enhance the development experience. This includes a new code completion engine powered by a model specifically trained for Swift and Apple SDKs, which predicts the code you need by using your project symbols to customize suggestions. This engine runs locally on your Mac, ensuring privacy and fast results, even when offline.

Additionally, Xcode 16 introduces Swiftassist, a cloud-based companion for coding tasks. Swiftassist can answer coding questions, help with experimenting with new APIs, and assist in prototyping by transforming ideas into code using natural language.
