JetBrains has unveiled the 2024.2 updates to its family of JetBrains IDEs and its JetBrains AI Assistant. The updates bring a new streamlined user interface to the IDEs, and improved code completion and chat to the JetBrains AI Assistant. JetBrains unveiled the 2024.2 updates on August 6.

The JetBrains AI Assistant 2024.2 offers faster and smarter code completion for Java, Kotlin, and Python, powered by JetBrains’ internally trained large language models (LLMs). Support for other languages is coming in the future, JetBrains said. The AI assistant’s chat also now is smarter, thanks to GPT-4o mini model support, and includes chat references for better context, the company said. New capabilities include in-terminal VCS (version control system) conflict resolution and customizable prompts for unit tests and documentation.

For the JetBrains family of IDEs, a new UI is now the default for all users. The more streamlined UI was created to reduce visual complexity, provide easy access to essential features, and progressively disclose complex functionality as needed. JetBrains’ classic UI is still available as a plugin. In addition, the Search Everywhere dialog now allows developers to preview codebase elements being searched. The JetBrains IDEs now will detect and use proxy settings configured on a developer’s machine by default.
