AI Assistant: Don’t Code Alone
summary
JetBrains AI Assistant demos a project‑aware IDE plugin that collects a sliding‑window context of local files and uses LLMs to explain code, generate unit tests and produce commit message generation suggestions. The demo loads a Java LChain class, asks for renames, generates tests that fail and thereby surface a surprising semantic contract (only system messages are deduplicated), and auto‑creates commit text; generated tests sometimes need human review. Privacy, on‑prem deployment, and larger refactor/merge workflows are discussed as upcoming work.
