# Generate code with autocomplete

The autocomplete feature of ServiceNow Otto for Code provides you with contextually relevant code suggestions.

## Before you begin

Role required: now.assist.creator

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to any script editor enabled with ServiceNow Otto for Code.

    For example, to open a script include form, navigate to **All** > **System Definition** > **Script Includes** and select a script include.

2.  Start coding in the script editor.

    When you stop typing, a code suggestion is displayed in grey within a few seconds.

    **Note:**

    Retrieval-Augmented Generation \(RAG\) enhances auto-complete suggestions and minimizes inaccuracies or hallucinations.

    It may take a few seconds for the code suggestions to appear.

3.  Review the code suggestions generated by the AI and decide whether to accept or reject them:

    -   Press the **tab** key to accept the code suggestion.

        If you accept the code suggestion, it's added to the script.

    -   Press the **esc** key to reject the code suggestion or continue typing.

        If you reject the code suggestion, it isn't added to the script.

4.  After accepting the code suggestions, select **Save**.

5.  Select **Update** to save the script.

    The code suggestion is saved within the script.

    **Note:**

    To disable autocomplete for your session, select **Settings** in the script editor and turn off the **Autocomplete** toggle.
