The world of software development is constantly evolving, and with it come new tools that enable developers to work more efficiently and effectively. developers to work more efficiently and effectively. One such tool is the JetBrains AI Assistant. We have tried the AI Assistant and would like to share our experiences in this article.

The JetBrains AI Assistant:
AI in software development - hype or useful help?

What is the JetBrains AI Assistant?

The AI Assistant from JetBrains is an extension for the local development environment in software development. It is an artificial intelligence designed to support developers in their daily work. This ranges from code completion, help with errors and code optimization and can therefore significantly improve the quality of software development. significantly improve the quality of software development. Our experience with the AI assistant

Our experiences with the AI assistant

Intelligent code completion

This function not only offers basic code suggestions, but also adapts to the context and style of the project. project. For example, the assistant could recognize complex code patterns and recommend them in similar situations, which increases consistency in the code. We were impressed with how the wizard not only sped up our coding, but also made suggestions that took our style and context into account. It was as if the tool had developed an understanding of our project.

Advanced error analysis and troubleshooting

The AI assistant recognizes not only simple syntax errors, but also more profound problems such as performance bottlenecks or potential security risks. When it came to troubleshooting, the AI assistant was able to exploit its potential amazingly well. surprisingly well. It reliably identified syntax errors (some of which were deliberately built in) and even pointed out an inefficient database query and suggested an optimized version. Especially for inexperienced software software developers in particular, the AI assistant can provide considerable support and significantly accelerate learning effects.

Advantages of using the AI assistant

Refactoring and code optimization

The wizard also supports the restructuring and improvement of the code. For example, it can suggest code into functions or use modern programming practices to improve readability and maintainability. maintainability. It supports a wide range of languages and frameworks and is therefore a versatile tool for a wide range of development projects. Advantages of using the AI Assistant

Saving time and increasing efficiency

The automation of routine tasks and intelligent suggestions significantly speeds up the development process. The AI assistant helped us to develop faster and more efficiently. The time savings were clearly noticeable.

Improving the quality of the code

Thanks to the error analysis and optimization suggestions, we quickly got the feeling that the AI assistant contributes to better code quality. contributes to better code quality.

Learning and development support

For less experienced developers in particular, we see the AI Assistant as a valuable tool for learning advanced programming concepts and programming concepts and improve the quality of their own code.

Adaptation to individual needs

Over time, the assistant learned our coding style and increasingly offered customized suggestions, which was a great help. was a great help.

Who is the JetBrains AI Assistant suitable for?

In our opinion, the AI assistant from JetBrains is suitable for developers of all levels of experience. No matter whether experienced developers or beginners who have basic knowledge but still have some gaps. Our experience with the JetBrains AI Assistant has been consistently positive. We not only see the potential to make our work more efficient, but also to improve the quality of our projects. For us, it is definitely a valuable addition addition to our toolbox and can recommend with a clear conscience that you try this tool out for yourself.

The 7-day trial version is free of charge and the monthly fee of € 8.33 (with annual payment) as a supplement to an existing JetBrains IDE license is absolutely justified. as a supplement to an existing JetBrains IDE license is absolutely justified.
