AFAIK jetbrains has an AI Assistant now, too. But I cannot say anything about how it works.

It was sub-par when I last tried it, like many things JetBrains have been doing these days.

I love their products, and I would be sad if they can't stay competitive, but it looks like they are taking all the wrong turns.

you can try https://firebender.com. Its specifically designed for android studio, but still works well for intellij. I use it every day to develop the plugin itself.

Thanks. I'm already using GitHub CoPilot, but will give this a try.

Honestly speaking I'm not a big fan of chat based assistants, which was one of my complaints about IntelliJ's own assistant. Auto-complete feels more natural, although I can see that the suggestions might be more accurate and to the point with the chat based ones.

we're working on this right now. Expect to see auto-complete, and cmd+K functionality this week!

It's close to useless.

I would know, I made the mistake of paying yearly.

I don't know why, but I somehow expected that...
