The AI Assistant offers functions such as a chat that takes the project context into account, automatic refactoring suggestions, code completion and enables writing documentation and generating commit messages.
AI Assistant provides programming assistance
The AI Assistant functions appear to integrate seamlessly into JetBrains products and are powered by the JetBrains AI service, which is based on both OpenAI and its own Large Language Models (LLMs). AI Chat acts as an aid to development questions by taking into account information about the current file and project. The AI Assistant is intended to provide precise answers to function explanations, task completion and debugging questions.
Users can ask the AI chat of the new JetBrains AI Assistant questions about their project development.
