AI-assisted programming: from inline completions to agentic workflows
A Talk by Anton Arhipov (Developer Advocate, JetBrains)
About this Talk
AI-powered tools are transforming software development, but how much control do they give developers over their workflow?
In this session, we’ll explore how AI assistance in IntelliJ IDEA—through both JetBrains AI Assistant and the new Junie coding agent—supports developers in writing, understanding, and improving code.
I will demonstrate the capabilities of the AI-assisted coding in IntelliJ IDEA by exercising the prompts for various development workflows: explore legacy code, improve existing code via refactoring and tests, learn new technology, or implement new functionality in your application.
Is it a productivity booster or a placebo? I will do my best to explain in this session.
