JetBrains Rider Gets a ChatGPT-like AI Assistant!

Hello everybody, I'm Nick, and in this video, I will give you a preview of the brand new AI assistant integrated into my IDE, JetBrains Rider and see how it stacks up against ChatGPT and GPT-4.

On the Jetbrains blog they also state: "Access to the AI service is currently restricted to the territories where the OpenAI service is available. You can check the full list of territories here."

It would be great to have an option “talk to project” when the ai can access to the whole project files. I m looking forward to see something like this

tip: You can actually have Jetbrains AI suggest a refactoring and apply it immediately. But to do so, you must select the code you want to refactor, then use the ctrl + \ shortcut to suggest what you want done.

ctrl + \ is specifically for having the AI generate code, which it will show as a diff. you can then ask the AI to refine what it generated or accept the suggested changes.

Fun prompts to try
- "Review the following code" to use before human review
- "Find potential problems"
- Custom abstract queries "how to..." like "Propose an ML model to play snake game" when you learn something new
- Rewriting text. "Make angry message polite and professional" for HRs or "rewrite documentation" -- either do a great job.

I‘m using it since two days for generating commit messages. I found this very useful

It would´ve been better if it could add and edit files directly. As it is now it just feels like an embedded web browser with chapt gpt 3.5 site opened.

AI will provide great pair programming assistance. I'm not concerned about getting replaced by it.

For what they're asking Rider is a great value proposition already, especially compared to VS Enterprise which offers little above and beyond even Community. I'd be happy to pay a little more every year for an improvement over Copilot which I pay for already.

It's hard to be excited after seeing Copilot X in action. Good that Jetbrains invest in this area thougth.

With rider 2023.3 you can now accept the suggested refractors and have them automatically applied. This doesn't seem to go beyond a single file though and multiple attempts to refactor the same class will give wildly different results. It feels like it's still using 3.5 under the hood which is kind of disappointing given the cost of the service.

in there legal docs, the have a list of the providers of the AI, there using, GPT-3.5 and GPT-4, from OpenAI

[lemoncrazedcamel]

Nick finally using the new UI too woohoo

[Squared]

For a jetbrains product, you would hope for better context-wide integration. Also. I agree that GPT-4 would have a better engine for that kind of context building as a backdrop to it's reasoning engine, which I've seen in practice.

So it is sending our code to Jetbrains? Unfortunately it will be prohibited in my company. I have to wait for offline models :(

[Cronofear]

If they bring something like copilot as well, then they'll win me over.

[Brokenptimist]

In their blog post "AI Assistant in JetBrains IDEs" Jetbrains do mention OpenAI:
"At launch, the service supports OpenAI and additionally hosts a number of smaller models created by JetBrains. In the future, we plan to extend this to more providers, giving our users access to the best options and models available."

Good tool that will be 100% restricted in most of the big tech because of NDA and potential source code leak

[PairingWithDuncan]

Thanks for this. I’ve been playing with the IntelliJ version on my channel, with similar results. It does seem pretty good at refactoring if you tell it what you want in little steps.

[joelblake]

As others have said, doesn't feel like a very smooth developer experience with the copy and pasting. Sure it will get better, but my issue right now is that it can do an ok job of relatively small examples like this, but even then only if your prompt is spot on.

Right now, I have to learn to write the thing to get the AI to write the code I could write myself in less time than learning the thing/trial and error prompting.

[The-KP]

Sometimes giving a GPT code generator too many instructions in one prompt will dilute the result. Sometimes by breaking it into two or more prompts you get a more exact result.
