Various embodiments of the present technology generally relate to solutions for improving industrial automation programming and data science capabilities with machine learning. More specifically, embodiments of the present technology include systems and methods for implementing machine learning engines within industrial programming and data science environments to improve performance, increase productivity, and add functionality. In an embodiment, a system comprises a machine learning-based recommendation engine configured to, an industrial programming environment, generate a recommendation to add a component to control logic based on an existing portion of the control logic. A notification component is configured to surface the recommendation in the programming environment. A programming component is configured to, in the programming environment, add the component to the control logic. A configuration component is configured to configure the component based at least in part on the existing portion of the control logic.
